I'm sorry, I know this is terribly rude but I'm braindead tonight. What are some offensive names that a 17 year old boy might use to refer to an older man (70s) or woman (early 80s)? I already used artifact, but that's all I have. Lame, I know. No offense to anyone, these are my characters speaking, not me!

Old man, ancient, crippled, decrepit, one foot in the grave, most of these are adjectives but they are the best I could think of.

a snottily-said grandma or grandpa can go a long way.

Old fart, biddy, old hen, geezer, granny, shriveled up old mummy, gramps...

Try checking a thesaurus for synonyms for any of the suggested terms (like geezer or grandma).

Walking corpse? Geriatric *insert noun here*, ummm, crone, hehe
how about, 'sorry, i couldn't hear what you were saying, i was too busy watching your liver spots (playing connect the dots with your liver spots, counting your liver spots).'
worse huh, okay... how about, "wow, your nurse seems to have really messed up when she put in your enema, 'cause it's just started spewing out your mouth!'
or, better watch it, you get any nicer and your cane's gonna fall out yer back end...*sarcastic tone* you could always do the reverse : better watch it or that walker's going where the sun don't shine.'
How about, 'tough talk, madame fermaldahyde'
Me and my buddy would trade tough talk when we got bored up till she died. It was so fun!

Relic, bat, lots of them. If you want some good ones, there's this movie called "The Ultimate Gift," (It's a really good movie too) and the main character throws some nice ones at some people.

A friend of my husband's, when they lived in Florida, referred to all the old folks as wobblies. While it's not outright rude it's not nice either, LOL, but it is accurate in many cases.

Old coot, granny, prune face, aging hippie, nursing home escapee. Sometimes it's not the name calling itself, but the way words are spoken. Just a sympathetic nod and the murmured words in someone's ear, "(s)he's...elderly, you know," can do a lot to change an onlooker's perspective.

We're taking the term "geezer" back, though, you know. ;-)

Jiji!

Oh, you mean in English... dang. All my best insults come from subtitled anime.

Living dead/walking dead. Coffin walkers. The Wheelchair & Pudding Generation. Mushmouth (particularly for those without dentures). Old fogie. Walking skeleton. Cane toad. Meals On Wheels. Crabcake. Past-his/her-prime. One blade on the rope.

Not an offensive name, but something I've always wanted to say (but was too old to use it when I came up with it):

Old Guy: Aren't you a little young to (be doing something)
Damn Kid: Aren't you a little old to be alive?
