fogey-osity

noun. A quality found in geezers, coots, grandpas--and, for some reason--Pinkerton the cat.

Real citation: "@MissCellany have them, have them. May I compound my fogey-osity further by also declaring it 'most excellent'? Thank you so much."

Made-up citation: "I'm not old yet, but I have plenty of fogey-osity. I even nuked my own lawn just to get the kids off it."
