What's new

Does anybody know what its like to live in Venice, FL?

The blue hairs? You mean the soyboys? I thought Florida was soy-free.
Yeah... never heard the term "soyboys" ever said or used till now.
I only know of one person ever to not eat soy here.., IF i presume this is what that means / refers to.
And... that term would only be gender specific so it wouldn't apply either due to the fact there are far more elderly women than men statistically.

So... lets delve deeper into this... :)

First off... After re-reading my original post i noticed i should have used the word "most"...
AND i should not have used the term "bluehairs" at all due to not likeing the term because of the stupidity of it as well.
Personally... when i first heard that term as a kid i thought it was strange to begin with and made no sense.
Elderly people here do not have "bluehair" to begin with.

The term / descriptive that would apply the best would be "grey hairs". heh

So...... From now on..... I will refer to anyone older than me .... as a greyhair.

:P
 
The term "blue hairs" is a slang term, often used disparagingly, to refer to older people, particularly older women. It originated from the practice of using a blue-tinted rinse on gray or white hair to counteract yellowing, a common hair coloring technique for older women in the past. While the practice of using blue rinses is less common now, the term "blue hairs" remains as a nickname and sometimes an insult.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • The Blue Rinse:
    In the past, many older women used a blue rinse on their hair to make their gray or white hair appear brighter and less yellow. This was a popular way to deal with the yellowish tinge that gray hair can sometimes develop.

    • From Trend to Slang:
      Over time, the term "blue hairs" became associated with older women who used this technique, and eventually, it evolved into a slang term for older people in general.
    • Potential for Offensiveness:
      While not all older women had blue hair, the association with the blue rinse and the term "blue hairs" became linked to older age and sometimes carries a negative connotation. It's important to be mindful of the potential for the term to be hurtful or offensive.

In a short period of time you're going to see the shifting thought.
"I will refer to everyone as old as me" 😁
