I just saw the end of Biden in CT. Is he adorable or what?

2. I wouldn't call him "adorable" - that sounds sort of infantilizing, which I'm sure

you didn't mean, but older people are often called "cute" or "adorable" or something like that, especially when they do something normally clever like a younger person would be expected to do (as if that old person shouldn't be able to do that thing, like a dog riding a bicycle, so it's surprisingly cute when they do), which really sets my teeth on edge. I'd call him warm, smart, competent and kind.
