In common parlance, a pensioner is a person who has
retired, and now collects a
pension. This is a term typically used in the
United Kingdom; someone of pensionable age may also be referred to as an 'old age pensioner', or OAP. In the
United States, the term retiree is more common. In many countries, increasing
life expectancy has led to an expansion of the numbers of pensioners, and they are a growing political force.

Old Age Pensioner At first I could not understand why I couldn't get the discount that was for OAPs only. Later I realized it was for senior citizens.
