(This trend was referenced [[http://uncyclopedia.ca/wiki/You_have_two_cows/25 by Uncyclopedia]].) This is because over 95% of recorded human history is older than the "book," which was apparently written in 1950 (when television gained popularity in the USA). It became common to see tropers avoid the repetition of that unwieldy trope name by putting it in a PotHole under some phrase like, "You know what that makes this..." Splitting TheOldestOnesInTheBook into sub-indexes such as OlderThanDirt, OlderThanSteam, and OlderThanRadio has done a lot to reduce the annoyance, both because of the variety and because anything that ''isn't'' OlderThanDirt is newer than much of the book.\\\
Now Older Than Dirt itself has become way overused and misused, being frequently applied to pages that are nowhere near old enough to count (currently the cutoff is 800 BCE; previously it was 500 BCE). Doesn't help that despite being an index, it's often treated as a trope.
