i'll be 75 years old calling 30 year old college professors "kid"
Yeah, thinking about it more, it's not really that weird to call adults of any age "kid", and it's somewhat common when talking about people substantially younger than oneself. it is maybe more common when referring to men though? ๐ค
it might be old man-coded. "you did good, kid" is a line in a bunch of media and sometimes it's addressing a woman.
Yeah Biden would call 59-year-old Kamala a kid
