Whoa! What? You're a youngster and you don't live in a cave, how is it that an old <insert inappropriate term here> like myself knows what rickrolling is?Somehow, Grant, I think I'm older than you are. @=) But thanks for the compliment.
Late 30s/early 40s? Right? That makes you young in my book, since I'm in that same range and I still get accused of being a kid by lots of people.
You get accused of being a kid in your late 30s/early 40s? What are you doing, standing around on people's lawns?

Well, I know who Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers are, love their movies, but I don't know what he means by "Knock-down Ginger"

I'd take that bet. I haven't broken 50 yet, which is why I love having Jeff & Allen White around, so someone is older than me, but I'm generally 10 years older than the oldest people I'm hanging around with at these events. Some of the punks like Johnathan Kehyias & Jess Borland can be down right frustrating they're so young.

Not that you were "hanging around" with me, but you're less than 10 years older than me. Though I do go by the Jack Benny method of age (I'm 39!) we're actually likely only 6 or so years apart.

Nah. I just know a lot of people who are really, really old. Like over 25, even!
Really though, I think it has to do with misestimation of age. I'm accustomed to people who are younger than me thinking that I'm younger than them. Then I'll drop some reference to the music I listened to in the 70s and leave them with a cognitive dissonance that has all kinds of entertainment value. So, when I work with people in their 40s and 50s, a lot of them will use phrases like, "kids like you", or "when you're a bit older", or "when I was your age". Some small amount of it is legit, but many of the people saying things like that are within a year or two of my own age.
I don't get carded for R-rated movies, but most people are 10-15 years off when they estimate my age. I grow a beard to add 5 years to my age, and then they're off by 5-10, but they still "misunderestimate" my age.
Just the other day, someone was telling me that, "If you'd lived through the Reagan years ...", without realizing I lived through "the Carter years" and have some slight memory of "the Nixon years" even.
