Oldmentum

Oldmentum: A phenomenon in which elderly individuals, often propelled by a forward-leaning, almost falling gait, harness a unique combination of physical momentum and perceived urgency to navigate spaces with unyielding focus, often overriding social norms of deference or spatial awareness. This behavior is sometimes amplified by narcissistic tendencies that emerge more overtly in advanced age, as the decline of physical vitality clashes with a grandiose self-image. Coupled with a proclivity for adopting victim status to exploit cultural reverence for the elderly, oldmentum not only facilitates physical dominance in shared spaces but also perpetuates psychological dynamics wherein others—bound by guilt, societal expectations, or conditioned respect—enable and excuse such behavior, even when it stems from a lifelong pattern of manipulation or abuse.

I twisted my ankle diving out of the way as Grandma barreled past with her walker, unstoppable in her oldmentum, like a freight train that forgot how to brake.

oldsance

An aggravation caused by either (A) someone's being "stuck in da Stone Age" or (B) a comparably-obsolete device.

Many "ancient" ideas/practices are still a good idea in modern times, but we know now dat a lot of them are merely needlessly-arduous/restrictive oldsances.

Old Man Murray Test

The Old Man Murray test is a somewhat tongue in cheek way of judging how good a video game is. The test is to time how long it takes to spot a wooden crate anywhere in the game. The idea being, the less effort a studio puts into a game’s graphics and area design, the more likely they are to use wooden crates as decorations just to fill up space. Named after its creator, a hilariously sarcastic video game critic who lived in Austin during the 90s named Old Man Murray.

Various games and their scores on the Old Man Murray Test
Pokémon Legends ZA: 2 minutes
Final Fantasy VII: 7 minutes
Minecraft: There are no crates in the entire game
TF2: 5 to 30 seconds, depending which map you play first
Ocarina of Time: 30 minutes

Earthbound: 2 hours
