geezers
Crotchety old men
Geezers is the plural of geezer—an old man, especially one perceived as eccentric or out of touch.
The word carries mild contempt or affection depending on context: A couple of old geezers were playing chess in the park.
In British slang, geezer can mean any man, without the age connotation: He's a proper geezer.
