  Is it insulting to call something "old-timey" in the same way it's insulting to call carnival workers "carnies"? We found that last one out the hard way, but we have yet to hear anyone weigh in on "—timey." A Google search on "old-timey" didn't resolve the issue, though the Wikipedia entry for "Old Time" does have a hilarious picture of the Dapper Dans, a Disneyland barbershop quartet.
