How to be cool when you're afraid you've forgotten how . . .
Sure, you can try to stay younger by exercising, coloring
your hair, and wearing stylish clothes—but how do you
respond when someone asks, "Do you Twitter?" How Not to Act
Old gives you simple ways to come back from over the hill
and to act as young as you look.
Covering everything from old-people entertainment (cancel
that dinner party!) to old-people communication (it's called
a "voice mail," not a "message," and no one leaves or
listens to them anyway), Pamela Redmond Satran decodes the
behaviors, viewpoints, and cultural touchstones that
separate you from the hip young person you wish you still
were. This irreverent guide is essential for anyone who
doesn't want to embarrass their kids—or themselves.
