prettygoodwordantediluvian - adj., of or relating to the time before the Biblical flood; so extremely old as seeming to belong to an earlier period.
"His antediluvian attitudes towards women." Though of course, there's always the Bellman's antediluvian tone, when talking about the snark. Coined by Sir Thomas Browne from Latin ante, before + diluvium, flood (as in deluge).
