Nothing like a good ‘ol pandemic to resurrect all those pejorative terms for us “olders:”
  • Senior citizen
  • Elderly
  • Vulnerable
  • Geezer
This will pass – but the terminology will likely persist in our youth-oriented culture.

This week’s article suggests an alternative moniker to all the above. I don’t expect it’s going to get much traction during these times – but it’s worth consideration for yourself going forward. Maybe it will stick if we tag ourselves with it.

Hang in – be safe.
