Yes. Very useful and descriptive. I'm also a big fan of "poors" like most on the forum.

I like the old and young, but I'm not really a fan of "poors", as it depends on what you're rich or poor in.  Wealth is not the only factor.  Spirituality and self-confidence are other factors and really more important than wealth.

I like poors best myself.  Olds is a good usage also, but I have to say I have never personally used the term 'youngs', and I'm not very comfortable with it - probably because I'm quite fond of the term youths, or youth.

Yes.  Poors is second, but fails because it doesn't have a natural antithesis ("riches" doesn't have same effect).

     I like poors the best, & I've used it from time to time in taking notes. Never really felt the urge to use olds or youngs.

Don't think that one's in the same vein. Worker is not an adjective, although calling people "worker" is very opebo.

I prefer the condescending sounding "poors".

There's no such thing as the "best" usage of opebo-speak--it's all garbage.

So you believe most continental European languages are garbage? Because opebo-speak is indisputably valid in most non-English European languages, at least the major ones like French and Spanish.

So? French and Spanish rules of grammar do not apply to the English language.

Poors is one I use all the time, along with these two. Riches also, but it doesn't work so well.

Honesty is the best policy, after all, deadoman.

Your disapprobation is of course the highest praise in this thread, boor.
