The only way I can see that it would be disrespectful is because we associate the word with childish/tiny things, so it's possibly making them seem feeble. Even then that's a connotation and not what's being implied. 3/21/2011 11:54:47 AM |

to me, it's comparable to belittling someone by saying "aww, you're so cute", except you're doing it to a person who has experienced way more than you have.
unless you mean physically cute, in which case:

What does 'cute' have to do with 'experience'...? 3/21/2011 12:16:03 PM |

^ In the sense of saying "you're so cute" in order to dismiss someones opinion, it means a lot 3/21/2011 12:23:02 PM |

I don't think that's the tone for most people.
I do think people consider old people physically cute. Not in an attractive way though. 3/21/2011 12:25:36 PM |

It's not dismissive when people say it. My girl thinks old couples are adorable. 3/21/2011 12:46:32 PM |

I'm not sure about many things in life, but I am absolutely positive that nothing that landed on Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach was "cute." Show some motherfucking respect. 3/21/2011 12:57:55 PM |
