Finding your inner conservative.

[CoralRose13]

Cursive writing, thank-you cards, a culture that understands what common courtesy is, eating meals at the table, kids under 10 who don't know what pole dancing is, romance and sensuality, pink and blue not being politicized as intolerant, my grandma and her Rosie the Riveter get it done attitude and love of country, more women who don't automatically assume that after grandma stopped being a Rosie she didn't pine for her days in the workforce but actually loved being a wife and mother.

not the OED, but this is what I found online:
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/old-fashioned

1. In or according to styles or types no longer current or common; not modern.

1.1 (Of a person or their views) favoring traditional and usually restrictive styles, ideas, or customs.



so, something that is not common, not modern, and is 'traditional.'



edit: Dolf beat me.

the OED says (left out some irrelevant point):

old-fashioned (a.)

1.a Formed or conducted according to the fashion of former times; antiquated in form or character.

2. Attached to old fashions or ways; having the tastes of former times.

3. Having the ways of a grown-up person; hence, precocious, intelligent, knowing. Chiefly dial.

conservative (a. and n.)


A.1.a Characterized by a tendency to preserve or keep intact or unchanged; preservative.

A.2.a The most common current designation of one of the two great English political parties, the characteristic principle of which is the maintenance of existing institutions political and ecclesiastical. (With capital C.)


no idea how this is supposed to help though
