What are some things old people say?

[MillionaireNextDoor]

Whoever has seen "Grumpy Old Men" or not, what are some stereotypical "old people" talk?

 

[notfred]

Anything about, "when I was a kid...".

 

[BurnItDwn]

some old people are "happy as a clam". Also, they don't have shoes, they have "clodhoppers". My grandfather always says "go jump in the lake" when he is being sarcastic. Another one (at least my grandmother always says this) is "a lots".

 

[Mill]

Cotton-Picking(instead of Goddamn).
Racket(instead of noise).

Stop making that face or it will stick like that forever.

I've heard that

 

[Ornery]

My grandfather always referred to small cars, like the Corvair or VW Beetle, as a "little buggy", or puddle jumper. He'd also threaten to "box your ears" or "give you the belt".

 

[xboxist]

Using the term, "Nintendo" to refer to EVERY videogame-related object.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm playing Warcraft III, grandpa." (on my PC, of course)

"Why do you waste your time playing those stinkin' Nintendo games?"

True dialogue.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

"YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO?!" (like everything is a conspiracy)

 

[PoPPeR]

I don't know, my grandparents don't speak english

"When I was a kid we didn't have no fancy contraceptives like..... pullin out."
- Unknown

"When I was a young, strapping lad, we would wear an onion on our belt, as was the style in those days."
- Grandpa Simpson

 

[dquan97]

"cute as in bow-legged?"
"that is just silly"

 

[Fritzo]

For any minor inconvienience:

"Lemme talk to yer manager!"

or

"I'm takin' my money elsewhere."

They then say these same things to the people at where ever they went to two weeks later and the cycle repeats.

Oh, and their business phone calls always start out with "I'm a senor citizen..." :roll:
