I'm just curious what the qualifying age requirements are for the official old geezer designation.
I'm not sure I'm there yet.
I'm sure certain demographics and criteria are applicable
Thanks

It's always the number that is one year higher than where I presently am.

Do you have to be old to be a geezer. In the UK a geezer can be any age. Geezers are streetwise and charismatic people. Diamond geezers are the best.

And let us not forget to honor the wise old Geezerettes, who help keep Geezerhood interesting.

Sorry - Don't know. It was a gift a few years ago. But if you google "diamond geezer t-shirt" a gazillion of them come up (at least on UK Google - ymmv). And diamond geezer socks, which are now on my shopping list. They'll go great with my banjo sneakers.

I once saw a lapidated tilting structure built by an old feller in his retirement. I called it the leaning tower of geezer. (This is actually all made up but In felt it fitted the post...sorry!)

"Old Geezers" is a fictitious term representing a non-existing people. Those that brought this term to your attentions are "young pups" and must be house trained and leash trained in order to approach a stage of being useful to or presentable in society.

I'm extremely reluctant to admit anything. All I know is that I'm the same age as a lot of old people. In 1952 my great grandmother got her name in the town paper when she turned 80. That may happen to me in another 11 1/2 months, but without my name in any newspaper. My most significant age was turning 16. It was circled on the calendar and my mom agreed to drive me to the DMV office to get a learner's license after school. When the old desk clerk saw my birthdate and looked at his calendar he looked back and said... " Your late! You should have been here at 9 o'clock this morning". Then he gave me a shallow grin. I also waited for the day I turned 65. As it happened the company was top heavy with geezers so they gave me a buy- out at age 62.

It appears that diamond geezer is an earned designation.
It would be better than a
dodgey geezer

AI tells me, in part, that: "In the US and Canada, "geezer" almost always refers to an elderly man. The term is used informally and is often mildly disparaging, carrying the connotation that the man is old, stubborn, or slightly strange. [1, 2, 3, 4]"

I submit that something's "wrong" with ya if you're NOT slightly strange.  wink
