Razors Edge ★ Posted September 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2019 ...and whatever the folks younger than them are called! Last night, we were playing "Wits & Wagers" (an fairly non-competitive pseud-trivia game). Anyway, the question was "What's the age of the oldest person to climb Mt Everest?". I said I had recently heard that info, and was surprised how young the person was. My 15 year old niece put down "45 yrs old" as her serious answer. My other 22 year old niece answered "48 years old"!!!!! WTF is wrong with young people?????? I must be nuts for thinking someone in their 70's is "sort of young" to be the oldest to do something. ? For the record, the current oldest person to climb Everest is: Spoiler Yuichiro Miura at 80. The game had the previous person Min Bahadur Sherchan who had the record (age 76) but died trying to recapture it at 85! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're in elementary school 30 is old. I used to think that when I was in the Navy. Then I got there only to find out that 40 was old.

Indy Posted September 16, 2019 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2019 I'm Gen X. 70 isn't young to me. Heck, 40 isn't young to me and I'm in my mid 40's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted September 17, 2019 Share #6 Posted September 17, 2019 Guess how old this millennial is (on left)? (and I had to ask her 'cause I forgot her exact age). In 1 of her tweets, she said her father was horrified to be asked if he was a senior (for his drugstore purchase discount). Her father is as old as I. (60), I think he has a problem.
