Oldie

/ˈoʊldi/ noun

Definition

Something old, especially a song, movie, or joke that's from the past but still remembered or enjoyed.

Etymology

Informal diminutive of 'old' with the suffix '-ie.' Entered English in the early 1900s, becoming popular in mid-20th century to describe retro songs and films.

Kelly Says

An 'oldie' is a song that's old enough to be vintage but not so old that nobody remembers it—like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is now an oldie even though it's still absolutely epic!
