How's it going young man?
This is yet another BS expression used against the elderly in order to remind them of their advanced age. These bozos see an elderly person walking by and immediately say "How you doing young man?" or "Be careful young man!" interjecting the adjective "young", when it is glaringly obvious that the term "young" does not apply and is being used to say just the opposite, that the person is being considered to be exceptionally old.
Why?
Once again the question is why? Yes, it does baffle me. You see, I was young once as well, yet it never crossed my mind to be reminding the elderly of their age in such a sarcastic way.
After all, what indeed is the point? To gloat about my being younger? Well, that would perhaps make some sense if youth were permanent. But unfortunately, it is not, since all humans are predestined to become old if they live long enough.
So the gloating is similar to people being on a treadmill leading to a precipice, mocking those who are toppling over the edge, when they themselves will very soon go toppling over the edge as well.
In short, all humans enjoy a period of time called youth which leads to middle age, and then, usually to old age. There is absolutely nothing permanently advantageous in being young, it is temporary. So that being the bitter, inevitable reality, why not leave those in the later stage of life in peace by refraining from making unnecessary sarcastic remarks about their condition?
Is that too much to ask?

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Six guests in 24 hours down from 5000 just a week ago? That is really impressive tweaking.

Radrook Admin: Amazing how the number of guests rose suddenly to 5000 and then has been gradually and steadily going down. Pretty soon I will be getting maybe 100 guests if I am lucky. All of them bots, of course.
