OAP
Senior citizen, British
OAP is British slang for an old-age pensioner—someone receiving a government pension after retirement.
The term appears in contexts like discounted rates: OAP tickets are half price.
It can sound dismissive when applied to people rather than administrative categories: Don't call me an OAP.
