"Old whipper-snapper" is an oxymoron, Wayne -
Sorta like "Honest Politician" — there ain't no such thing. Us former whipper-snappers who have lived long enough to undergo metamorphosis are now Curmudgeons. Think 'JBWX', 'Roger', 'Roosso', 'Tom' – founders of the Fraternal Union of Curmudgeonly Geezers (the 'Old FUCGers')
