Source and etymology of the euphemism?
[edit]How exactly was this euphemism “golden years” for old age invented? Who came up with it? And why did some people actually accept this definition, despite aging is obviously an ultimate long-term health destruction?[1][2]--Chanc20190325 (talk) 23:25, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- Old age is also associated with good things like wisdom, experience, and retirement from work. Equinox ◑ 23:55, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
