bluehair

Senior citizen, stereotypically

Bluehair is mildly derogatory slang for an elderly person, especially an elderly woman.

The term references the blue-tinted rinses once popular among older women to counteract yellowing in gray or white hair.

It often carries connotations of slow driving, outdated attitudes, or resistance to change: The restaurant was full of bluehairs eating dinner at 4:30.
