A rude or teasing word for an old man. You almost always hear it as “old codger”. Sometimes the speaker half-smiles, as if the man is odd but known; sometimes it is plainly unkind, as if he is in the way. Younger people should not say it to a stranger’s face. It is informal, a little British in flavour, and a bit old-fashioned itself. Nobody is quite sure where it came from. It was possibly taken from cadger, an old word for a hawker. Some people like the story that it shortens “coffin dodger”, though actually that is likely a folk tale, not the real history. It is about men, not women, and it is not related to “code”.
