I've started using the term 'childe' (verbally and in my head) to denote anyone who isn't my peer or I vaguely remember as a blurry face, as I am olde. No decrepid, but olde. Derr.
I thank the lovely and inspiring Bill Cunningham for this term. It is neither spiteful nor demeaning, but it does denote a gap, which can be nice and unsaid and okay.
