Cách sử dụng
The word 'codger' is used to describe an old man who is seen as eccentric, cranky or uncool. It is usually used in a friendly, teasing or affectionate way, but it can also be used as an insult if the person being referred to is being difficult or uncooperative. It is not a formal or respectful word, so it is best to avoid using it in professional or polite settings. For example, "My grandpa is a bit of a codger. He refuses to use a cellphone and still writes letters by hand."
