shame . .
It's not really a massive slur - Old Boy tried to equate age with wisdom - which is incorrect. I regularly encounter situations where people continually, to this day, use outdated 1980s terminology to describe corner shops and Chinese take-aways.

Also, given the huge structural deficit in this country, I'm not sure it can be said that the previous generations worked hard and paid their fair share at all. More like they mortgaged off the state assets through privatisation to enjoy a low tax economy and left future generations paying the debt. However, that's an argument for another thread...
