well aged…good one!
Mendageous: /mend ayj us/ Grandma Gilda had always been a mendageous type of person. Her true age was never known…she’d been twentynining it for as long as we could recall. Although offered senior’s discounts at shops, she was indignant that people would think she was really that old. She took care of herself and acted young, but let’s be honest, Mother Nature and Father Time exact their toll on us all. And it did not help that she told us stories of the War and the Great Depression. When Gilda turned 75, we had a big party for her in a local licensed restaurant. Her best gift by far was having the waiter card her…unbeknownst to her that we’d paid him twenty bucks to make a fuss of requiring proof of age. She was thrilled! Etymology: Mendacious (tells fibs; given to lying;intentionally untrue) & Age (how long something has existed;begin to seem older; get older) Created by: Nosila.
Manipulage: /ma-nip-u-lage/ Grandma could manipulage herself when it suited her. She carried an old ID card in her wallet so that when she went to the singles dances at the firehall she could show that she was still a young chick, but at the mall she had her AARP ID to prove that she was eligible for her senior discount. Etymology: manipulate: to tamper with or falsify for personal gain + age Created by: mrskellyscl.

Subterfage: /SUB ter fayj/ Every time people try to find out how old Elder Lee really is, he resorts to some subterfage. He is the only person I know who went and got a fake ID to appear YOUNGER. Once he even tried to pass off his own son as his brother, which his son did not particularly appreciate. Etymology: subterfuge + age Created by: karenanne.
