I don't think you understand that words have a meaning, defined in a dictionary. You can just decide that your kind of discriminatory language somehow doesn't count and we should all just magically know what you really mean, but that also echoes the typical defenses that racists and gender bigots use.

Bigotry on the basis of race, religion, gender and yes even age is wrong no matter how you try to defend it.
