New Word Wednesday: Silver Crime
Silver Crime n.-Offenses committed by the elderly. Usage: " a group of well to do pensioners who lost their savings in the credit crunch staged an arthritic revenge attack and held their terrified financial advisers to ransom in the latest example of what is being dubbed 'silver crime'- the violent backlash of pensioners who feel cheated by the world". -- Times of London, June 24, 2009Don't dis the grandma, and hide the silver when she comes for dinner!This new word came to me courtesy of my friend, Rahul Padmanabhan.
