Old fogey
Old fogey is a
nickname used to describe someone as slightly old fashioned: out of touch with modern ideals. In
1811, an Old Fogey was a nickname for an invalid, wounded soldier; derived from the French word fougeux; fierce or fiery. The modern sense has changed the use a little, but there is still the element of invalid in the saying.
Young Fogey was humorously applied in a
British context to some younger-generation but rather buttoned-down writers and journalists — examples being
Charles Moore and (for a while)
A. N. Wilson. The term is attributed to
Alan Watkins writing in 1984 in
The Spectator.
