Fogey

Fogey is an internet slang term to refer to someone who is considered old-fashioned, traditional, or outdated in their thinking, beliefs, or behavior. It’s used to describe individuals who may be reluctant to adapt to modern trends or technology, often displaying a lack of understanding or appreciation for contemporary ideas, styles, or customs.

Examples:

1. Sarah’s grandfather is such a fogey when it comes to music. He only enjoys listening to classical compositions and dismisses any modern songs as noise.

2. Jake’s friends sometimes tease him for being a fogey because he prefers sending letters by mail instead of using instant messaging or social media to communicate.
