Something in her was like "gotta make it to 100..."

Then she did and must've been thinking "well is that it? I am awfully tired all the time. Guess I am getting weaker. Oh!! I never skydived!! Okay gotta skydive, then we're good to go 😊"

Skydives

Naps forever

Cut down in her prime

That's how my grandmother went out. Definitely preferable to many other ways. :( Sorry you had to go through that. Dementia of any kind is horrible.

It's a really uncommon word. But hey, you get to be one of today's lucky 10,000.

I only know it thanks to the Camelot song from Holy Grail.

I would say you are more literate because it's in the last sentence, most people never read that far.

It's not as common now as it used to be, and even back then it wasn't really common, but it's kind of like the word "inauspicious." I had never heard anyone use the word before, but then I went to India and every English speaking Indian seemed to use the word regularly. It was weird.

But yeah, indefatigable is a word I've heard before, both spoken in older movies and in older books.

In war we're tough and able, Quite indefatigable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable.

Yes

my thought process was IN (no) and FATIGUE (tired) per context clues it seems like someone who doesnt get tired

idk the word tho

It's a perfectly cromulent word!

LOVELESS Yes, Mr. West, I'm sure a well- endowed blackamoor like yourself must find it absolutely impossible... that a freak like me could fully enjoy the pleasure of a woman. But having witnessed my use of mechinology so far... wouldn't you think I could provide myself with something for the lower half of my body that was hard-pumping and indefatigably steely?

I came here to see if anybody else had that as a wordly wise word in high school

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

Yep.

Do not go gently into that good night.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I’d assume her age and stuff need to be confirmed? Tho if it with Guinness it doesn’t really matter much, their entire record system is a sham.

Would there be a concern that the elderly might be pushed into potentially hazardous (due to their age/health) activities in attempts to make records? Guinness already refuses records that are dangerous. I could easily see the YouTube generation trying to talk grandma into some record attempts that wind up with her stroking out or breaking a hip. If I were Guinness I’d have some concerns about how to present stuff like this.
