Yes, "olds" is huge for me. I also enjoy "dumbs." "Poors" is still a classic, too, because it seems especially condescending.

They sound even worse when you put a "the" in front of them.  "I saw some of 'the poors' at the mall today" or "'the dumbs' across the street from me were kicking their dog again."  We must take care of 'the olds', it's the right thing to do!

See, the proper way to do it would be to say, "I saw some poors at the mall today."
