old fart
Tribal elder. A title self-assumed with remarkable frequency by (especially)
Usenetters who have been programming for more than about 25 years; often appears
in sig blocks attached to Jargon File contributions of great archaeological
significance. This is a term of insult in the second or third person but one of
pride in first person.
