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