For a word that means ‘person over sixty’, it’s totally SEXY. ‘Hi, I’m a sexagenarian.’ It feels like the person just generates sex (or sex appeal). More power to the seniors!

I remember a comedy routine with “The Bickersons,” a pairing of Don Ameche and Frances Langford http://tinyurl.com/ry57rd in which John tells his wife that his boss is a sexegenarian. “That’s disgusting! A man his age!”
I have loved the word ever since.
It’s not so much the word I love as the comment describing it- right on, Sophie!
