One Woman's Quest to be a Gilmore Girl
I’m More Gilmore Than I Know
Posted by Lorelei on Jan 22, 2010 in Gilmore Girls | 3 comments
I don’t watch the DVDs of the show everyday but I tend to make it through all of the seasons about once a year, whatever that averages out to. I just recently realized the significance of this conversation in season seven episode two. Rory is bragging about how she’s a grown up and Lorelai replies that grown ups call themselves adults.
I always refer to people who are even a year or two older than me as “grown ups”. I do not consider myself to be in this category. So what do you say grown-ups or adults or peer group?

Gilmore Girls isn't just a show for me it's a way of life. I follow Lorelai's fashion and read Rory's books. I've compiled several lists of pop culture references made in the show. This blog documents my life in a small Stars Hollow-esque town as I search for my Luke Danes. I hope to be able to skip all of the Season 6 drama.

“Old!” I refer to myself as old.
I never paid much attention, but I’ve heard a more than one person recently say adults as “ah-dults.” However, one of those is a person that say nuclear as “nucular.” Ah, potato…po-tah-toe.
It seems that grown-ups will use the word “grown-up” when emphasizing the age difference/maturity, like Rory does above, and Susan Neiman does for her book: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9025.html At least it seems to be done for emphasis, but maybe not always.
whoops, I mean Lorelai not Rory in my comment above.
