Wacky Word Wednesday - Agerasia

Agerasia

Agerasia is a noun
that shouldn't make you frown
if it gets written down
or said about you around town.

It means you're youthfully old.
(At least that's what I'm told.)
Agerasia is an aged one who lives bold
and who's skin has hardly begun to fold.

Thank you, Corrine, for suggesting this word!
It was definitely not one I had previously heard.

    Even though I feel 50
    The word is nifty
    And doesn't need to be said
    About me yet to swell my head

      You definitely have a ways to go
      before your age begins to show. :)

    Although I'm 57
    I feel I am in heaven.
    Youthfully old, I am,
    An Agerasian!

    Hope when I'm older
    I'm able to hear
    The word agerasia
    Spoken in my ear

    Thanks for another great addition to my vocabulary Rachel :)

    I knew you'd do a fantastic job of it and you did, Rachel. Wouldn't we all love to 'suffer' from agerasia! ;)

    Dear Rachel,
    Not a word I have heard used, but I wouldn't mind suffering from "agerasia" when I'm old! Thanks for sharing.
