I think "senior citizen" is Okey dokey. Some sports tours for athletes who have aged out of the competitive ranks are called "Champion" tours. They used to be known as "Senior" tour. So would you prefer to be called a champion, senior or something else? Like what for instance and why? Now of course when I say "old dame" I mean old woman. I'm not referring to the title "Dame" like Dame Judith Andersen. That is a special title conferred on special people.
