It's NOT that they're dead or nuthin, it's that he was a peach because he was old and wrinkly! I don't call everyone peaches, just people that look.. Aged. Me and my mom actually made up like a whole system to like, rate how adorable an old person is. And this is how it goes:

Peaches= Kind of adorable for an old person
Peaches and Cream= Pretty adorable for an old person, probably is pretty wrinkled and may have a droopy chin
Peaches and Cream Corn= The most adorable of the old people

But it's not that we think they're CUTE in the sense I would find say, a guy my age cute. Just adorable in the sense that they're.. Adorable? It's hard to explain without sounding weird :p .
