oh your culture is so advance we thank God. I am 37 and I am still to learn how to drive and most cars around here are used cars and manual, no automatic cars no rear cameras. Infact I saw a rear Camera in a car for the first time last Thursday when an aunty at church gave me a lift.

please Lynx I have why does everyone refer 30s and 40s as old. I thought it was midlife

Depends on perspective. At my job I have been told, to my face, by a 17 year old boy, "I'd punch you out if you wasn't an old man." (They don't teach a lot of grammar these days, it seems.) But our piano player at church is in her early 70s (but can still play better than anybody else) and says I'm still a boy.

It's kind of like the term "yankee." It depends on how far south you live. A yankee is anybody who lives more than 50 miles north of wherever you are.

Two cowboys down in San Antonio:
"You ever go up to Dallas?"
"Nah. I never did like them yankees."

Two old women at a nursing home:
"You ever try flirting with that new guy that runs the meal cart around?"
"No way! I ain't having nothing to do with no kid."
