In the older years... 1920s thru 1960s, you had old people living in apartments in cities. Often on the second, third, fourth, fifth, etc floors. As you get old, into your 70s, 80s, and 90s. Your strength dimishes substantially. 20-40 lbs as an young adult isn't much of an issue. But once you get to that age it certainly is. Moving around in general, can just be exhausting. For the OP, to answer the question of literally crossing the street... NYC and other East Coast drivers used to be notoriously bad for speeding thru red lights. And yeah it takes the eldery some time to get across the street. Hence the expression "little old lady crossing the street." You don't do it as a white knight kind of thing. You do it to punish the Goombah NYC drivers. **Edit This is... for basically a slang term that would have originated in your grand parents time. Very pre and post-war centralized. But in short: -City drivers are poo poo -The eldery move slow because getting old loving sucks. Senor P. fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Aug 4, 2022 |
