I don't disagree, but, like the N word, it seems to make a difference on who's using it. I don't care of anyone on this forum aims it at me, but I'd be a bit taken aback if some 20 y/o on the 41 called me one.

Recently I almost referred to a person 25 years my senior as "spry", which I think is the worst of them all. For penance I listened to an hour of "The Best of Barry Manilow".
