The frog just became an "Old Pro"...

This either means that,

(a) I spend way too much time on the internet

(b) I now have to refer to all new members as trolls until they prove their worth

(c) I'm now going to become codgery (see I'm already making up my own words) and set in my ways

or

(d) All of the Above


Don't say I didn't warn you folks!

Congrats, muppet!

Umm, you're over half way there, Bob.

I like making up my own words, thankyouverymuch.

If it's all the same to you, I like my word better, as it's not easily associated with a certain part of the anatomy. I'd much rather be an old codger than an old crotch.

However, please know that the word crotchety is unrelated to any part of the human anatomy.

Very true, except for the tiny fact that its root word is "crotch". I may mix and mingle my synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms, but this is one semi-homonym that I'd just as soon steer clear of.

And I thought codgery would mean "making a cod of oneself "

Muppet....its none of the above Just means you like to chat like the rest of us.

I vote 'D'....All of the above!

Muppet, I will miss chatting with you. Maybe I will become an Old Pro soon but until then, I guess I'm just a lowly troll to you.

It's ok, IAST. You'll get to be cool like me one of these days.

You're not an old codger if you can:

1. Remember not to go around "unzipped";

2. Remember to button up your shirt right;

3. Not miss a belt loop when you're putting on your belt;

4. Not make a rude noise when you bend over to pick up your dropped Winn-Dixie discount card in the Winn-Dixie checkout line.

Also, you're not an old codger if you haven't yet gone from being just grouchy to crotchety.

Don't ask me how I know.
