I read Bernama news Singapore City-train Service Disrupted today and stumbled upon the word "septuagenarian". I am quite familiar to the word thanks to my previous lecturer. However my poor girlfriend didn't understand the term. So, here I'm doing her (and you all) a service, trying to list all the weird words and their definitions.- sexagenarian: someone whose age is in the 60's (60-69);
- septuagenarian: someone whose age is in the 70's (70-79);
- octogenarian: someone whose age is in the 80's (80-89);
- nonagenarian: someone whose age is in the 90's (90-99);
- centenarian: someone who is at least 100 years old.
- supercentenarian (sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian): someone who has reached the age of 110 years. [Wiki]
- "pentagenarian": someone whose age is in the 50's (50-59).
I hope it helps. Cheers! ;)
