I'm thinking you're asking this with tongue in cheek, as it's a saying that's
been around for more than 100 years! Meaning that an older person should be
given precedence over a younger, who's presumed to be more "beautiful".

Not only that, but the question that occurs to me every time I watch that
episode is why she calls Opie up in front of the entire class before class
starts to inform him of her dreadful mistake. I mean, good grief, a little
privacy would have been called for, in my opinion.
