Anachronism

N: a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old fashioned.  

an act of attributing a custom, event or object to a period in which is doesn't belong.

Some feel that my record collection is anachronistic.  I feel that it is amazing.
Certain scholars note the anachronistic quality of certain Old Testament verses in the Bible.  These scholars claim that inspired men revealed unknown truths concerning truths of our universe (such as "the paths of the sea" and the spherical nature of our globe).  Gary Fisher just thinks it's poetic language.
I like Meredith's anachronistic style.  Now everyone wants an ugly hat from the 20's as well.
Maybe one day, when Tim and Meredith's friendship is more provincial, a two hour phone conversation will seem anachronistic.
I fear the day when MP3's become anachronisms in our ever changing world.  How more convenient and intangible can music become?
This is a good word.  Not to be confused with Acronym (T.M.V.C (Tim & Meredith's Vocab Club).

I think Bonnie & Clyde are stylish.

Meredith isn't really aggressive enough to give caveats.
"Caveat: Do not try this at home."

2.) a touch on one person's shoulder with a sword at the bestowing of knighthood

First, hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!! sorry, that's a funny picture (wipes tear away).  I'm sorry some mother's son for laughing at your son.  My laughter is definitely not an accolade.
Meredith received many accolades for her stunning performance in "This World Is Not My Home".
This kid has OD accolades.
The "My Child is an Honor Student" bumper sticker is a dorky accolade (maybe I'm just bitter that my mother wouldn't put mine on her car).
Speaking of dorky accolades, I think Tim and Meredith are due a few.
Elton John received his accolade before being knighted.  Now he rides around the marshes fighting dragons and saving princesses...and princes.
The accolade sung to David incited Saul to jealousy.
I be rollin and lookin pimp in my accolade.
