Showing Original Post only (View all)Is "senior moment" now politically incorrect? [View all]
On The Newshour last night, a guy who ran a program for entrepreneurs over 60 said how startled he was when someone used it. "How would you like to be a member of a group who was characterized that way?" Or words to that effect.
I find it a MOST USEFUL phrase. It's a way to explain why you can't introduce your neighbor to your friend because you can't bring up one of their names. It's not because you're generally stupid, or don't really care about one of them. It's a "senior moment!!!"
It's such a good thing that laughter is good for your health, because there are so many funny things associated with aging!!
EDIT after reading a couple of replies. My assumption is that the use of the phrase is self-referential. I've never heard it used in any other way.
