the worthless word for the day is: superannuated

[fr. L. superannuatus]

[adj] of persons: disqualified or incapacitated by
age; old and infirm; of things: impaired by age,
worn out; antiquated, obsolete, out of date

"We shall be either superannuated or dead."
- Philip G. Hamerton, The intellectual life (1873)

"A nap, my friend, is a brief period of sleep which
overtakes superannuated persons when they endeavor
to entertain unwelcome visitors or to listen to
scientific lectures." - George Bernard Shaw
