: "Octogenarian" is used to describe the age of someone who is 80 years old. Are there words for other ages? For instance, I just turned 50 -- what would I be called (besides "old" or "almost old" -- grin)?

Senior citizens:
Sexagenarian
Septuagenarian
Octogenarian
Nonagenarian
Centenarian
Supercentenarian
I haven't found one for fifty.
