After Billy's comment, I'm not sure it's a "mild insult". Tell me, Amelia. Is it really awful? It must be, to keep you still laughing... :-O)

It really depends on how it is said Mary. The intonation is everything. My advice would be ... don't call anyone an old git when you are in the UK, unless you know them very well, and they have a good sense of humour ;-)

I'd say it is a mild insult but as Amelia points out you can use it with humour Mary. Funny how 'old' is nearly always used a prefix. :)

Ok Amelia, that helps. So, you will be the only one, just to be safe. ;-))

Billy I've noticed it, either with affection or disdain. My whole perspective changed when my daughter got cancer, and all of a sudden growing old is a great privilege. Bring on the wrinkles!! Yes!!

That's a great outlook on life Mary. :)
