Hmmm. A Question

Is there a male equivalent of being a "crone"? Something that implies the wisdom of years? Is it "gaffer"?

Heehee. It might be "curmudgeon."

Great blog, by the way.

Hi, Shifting Phases. Thanks. Ah yes, the person in question has been called a curmudgeon once or twice. I also referred to him as a "coot" but he didn't like that. It seems to imply sprouting hair from nostrils and ears, and driving 20 mph in a 55 mph zone. Maybe "old-timer". Teehee.
