Well, in that case, Gary Oldman is younger than Gary Numan (by eleven days, if memory serves).

Memory did not serve - it's 13 days.

But, we used to be (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whelm)!

So, whelmed was the original overwhelmed. But then being whelmed wasn't enough (like, literally), so people got overwhelmed (like the person who's literally dying from a minor cold, or at death's door). After that, you could also be underwhelmed, and being just whelmed fell out of fashion - like those blue tartan trousers from the 80s.

You remember those blue trews too! I was beginning to think I'd imagined them!
