The easiest way to tell if someone was old enough to take "home economics" back in school is to look in their kitchen sink. If it's utterly gross even after they've finished their dishes and hung up the dishmop for the night, they either never had a home ec class or were just too cool to take it seriously. Yuck. Of course, I was in school in the privileged era when home ec and shop class were co-ed and mandatory, so I had a lucky run.
