I predict that the number of votes my word gets today will be directly proportional to the average age of the players of this game. I also predict that because of this reference, everyone will mistake me for someone my father's age (wouldn't be the first time). - ErWenn, 2007-05-29: 13:44:00

I tried to stop my age from increasing when I turned 25, but I was only able to keep it up for a year. - ErWenn, 2007-05-29: 13:45:00

Well, the one difficulty is that this word only works one way (i.e. older pretending younger) whereas ostensibly the word ought to be able to apply both ways. That'll skew your prediction, since even those of us who get the reference might not vote for it because we're being sticklers... - Scattercat, 2007-05-29: 14:09:00
