old-fashioned
When used as an adjective, this term carries a dual nature. It can be a neutral or even nostalgic descriptor for things that are classic or vintage, but it frequently carries a negative connotation of being obsolete, stubborn, or out of touch with modern progress. In social contexts, describing someone's views as old-fashioned often implies they are overly conservative or restrictive.
As a noun, the term refers specifically to a classic cocktail. In this context, it is a countable noun and is almost always used in a hospitality or culinary setting. Unlike the adjective form, the noun form is never used to describe a person or a belief system.
