“Are we OLD, or what?”
Given the choice I will go with “or what”. I have been an “or what” most of my life. It is a choice that I have faced before. I is sufficiently vague to mean any thing I want. And I can’t get old till my older brother is old. Then I will have one year warming.
Lastly in the Apostles’ Creed the line about the quick and the dead. That really wasn’t about crossing the street.
Unless you lived in Detroit in the '50s. If you were on the lines you were safe. No doubt inspiration for "Frogger."
