In order to remove the stigma that the candidate is “too old”, John Stewart has made a list of suggested words McCain should not be using any more, including:
contraption
dagnabbit
whipper-snapper
negro league
daguerreotype
And words that are older than he is:
telegraph
fossil
sarsaparilla
Some additional words I think should be added to this list:
dotard
flummoxed
hobnob
revelry
merrymaking
turnip
varmint
yore
maverick
