grandfatherly

(adjective, slang)
A lovingly sarcastic way to describe something that feels outdated, slow, overly wholesome, or straight-up ancient in vibe — like a comment your grandpa might make while sipping tea in a recliner. Often used to roast friends who say or do something unintentionally old-fashioned.
“Did you just say you like voice voting? That’s a grandfatherly ass remark, bro.”
“He wears slippers outside and says 'the YouTube'... real grandfatherly ass energy.”
