If you're over 60, post a lot, and have a sick sense of humor, log in here

Jee - like the letter G or a Thousand bucks in slang. I’m a ‘vintage dude’, my wife will not vote for ‘vintage dudette’ - but she is not a Doper.

Excellent. Cheers to the lady.

Good Sunday Morning freaky ones! Or, 4H Club (me likey that one too!) :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m over 60, post more than is good for me, but unfortunately am devoid of the aforementioned sense of humor.

So just fuck off.

Well, nice introduction, good morning to you too!

And a good morning to you, too. The 4H thing has an advantage of being easy to remember, doesn’t it. How do you like jasg’s idea for settling on a name for the gang?

Is this a way of saying you’d rather not receive the newsletter and badge?

I like that idea. But as a n00b Ill go with the majority vote. Im a grrl but I have no objection to fart jokes! :stuck_out_tongue:

Honestly, I don’t have a title preference because I just don’t care. If you want to call me a senior and give me a discount, I’ll take it. Beyond that, meh.

But do NOT call me “young lady” EVAR!!! I can’t think of any term more patronizing or obnoxious. When I worked in Florida, starting in my 30s, I found it annoying, despite everyone telling me it was a southern thing. Right. And don’t think you’re flattering me by asking if I’m 29 or 39. I don’t play those silly games. I’m 60. It’s not a judgement or an indictment, it’s just chronology.

Hmmmmm, it’s starting to sound like my title should be “grouchy old biddy” :smiley:

Refreshing! :smiley:

Just how do you derive that you’re a “n00b”?

BTW, I liked your response to the query thread with age as its raison d’être. Also the concept of SSN Bingo. I believe Giles’s post would be ample research material if the OP were truly curious.

Too bad Mean Old Lady is spoken for! :wink:

Even with that proviso, if you were to get a PM with the list of choices we come up with in “chat” here, would you be able to make a choice, even if it involved dice?

lol@ FCM :slight_smile: Believe me, and we all feel the same way at those patronizing “Miss” bones thrown our way. Do you not see the wedding ring, jerkface? Do not call me “Miss”. And stay off my lawn too! (I actually have a “No Pooping Here” sign on my front lawn to remind the dogs.)

Yep, Z, my join date is 2012, so I think Im prolly the n00biest!

Gotcha. You must have hit the ground running, though. But as I have tried to make clear, the thread title is basically a red herring or a scam to try to get people of a certian mindset to crack open the door and see what (if anything) is going on and if they might want to partake of some merriment with the older set.

Seems to be working, even though more than half of us are borderline lurkers! :wink:

ETA: Even at Post #232 it might be hard to tell what’s going on!

Well I know, some ppl are vain about the age thing too, but y’all are funny and smart so I peeked and liked it here so Ima stayin’! :slight_smile:

You’re a Charter Member of the 4H and as such I would request of you to pick a topic – that has yet to be presented – as a Sunday Sermon. What can we talk about that you have yet to see discussed at SDMB?

Sky’s (or Marianas Trench’s) the limit.

Yay! I like the “Charter Member” thing!

How about: "Colorful Expressions in Your Neck of the Woods"

Ill open with: “As welcome as a skunk at a church picnic”

To quote my all-time favorite comedian Jonathan Winters, “Oh, God, let’s see.”

So many of the ones I hear (and use) are more universal, non-regional things. As you know, this part of the country prides itself on colorful speech and, as such, traffics in that sort of thing as much as illegal alcohol and other substances.

One I use as often as the occasion permits pertains to the physical attrtibutes of certain people (either gender), as in “That person would back a dog off a meat truck – (I’ve also heard gut wagon).”

Does “lead balloon” make you giggle? Or is it too early?

Yeh that went over well dint it!

My father and stepmother were from deep MO so they had some good ones. Ill have to cast my memory back and dig some of them up.

Yeah. I’ve been doing that sort of thing and I keep finding stuff that’s too commonplace to call “neck of the woods” stuff. The grandparents generation had some doozies, though, so I will continue the theme.

This may not be common enough to matter (or else it’s too common) but I love it and use when it fits. At work the president was trying to organize some unofficial activity for the workers and was asking for input. Somebody came up with something that appeared to require some sort of credentials or special talents or whatnot and the president said, “Just as long as they can fog a mirror, they’re good for this.”

I love it! Ill stick that in my Useful Phrases bag!

A lot of good ones come from movies and series too.
