Simon Schama

I am somebody who has never been able to give up '60s habits. I am the inevitable old codger on the dance floor.

British Historian

The wonderful thing about acting is they're always going to need old codgers!

Redd Foxx was the same gruff old codger you saw on television.

Codger can have a mildly negative tone, suggesting old age with peculiar habits.

Sometimes used fondly among friends or family to tease about being old-fashioned.

Codger is casual, not for formal writing; more for spoken language or informal texts.
