"age oneself" = to date oneself

[Jonathan Lighter]

Yesterday a _Fox & Friends_ anchor made an offhand reference to Spuds Mackenzie.  She quickly covered her faux pas by saying, "Oh, I'm aging myself!  Many of our viewers never heard of Spuds Mackenzie!"

  Too young or too highly educated to remember the late Spuds Mackenzie? Go here for your blast of cultural education: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7t7qT-R_10&feature=related

  See, "dating myself" makes people think your social life is like ugh!  So "aging myself" is more right.
