Brit-pick Question for my Readers

[amberfocus]

I was wondering, is there a word in Britspeak English that represents dirty old man?  It can be slang or standard usage, I don't care.  Something along the lines of pervert or lecher but specific to age?

Um... just dirty old man. Possibly filthy old perv, dirty old git, etc. but I don't think we have a specific word.

This question has given me visions of Nine getting slapped into next Tuesday...not sure why.

geezer = bloke/man

old codger?

I don't know but that's just what I've heard.

Isn't that just sort of generic old-gitness?

Well, Rose and the Doctor are going to be telling Jackie he knocked her up very, very soon. So I have absolutely no idea why that image popped into your head. *whistles innocently*

Shoot. I was hoping.

Codger just means eccentric, though, not perverted. And geezer means the same. Well, I've managed to find some other words I can use, though. But thanks. I just wish there was a defining piece of British slang for it. *sighs*

Sorry, if you want we'll invent one and get it into the mainstream vocabulary by this time next week

Yes, please, that would be fantastic! *giggles* If only it were that easy.

You could try "one of the dirty mack brigade". This alludes to the old XXX cinemas we used to have when guys would go just to get off watching the movies wearing big macks so's not to get spotted when doing 5 finger exercises in their pants. I'm sure uyou can imagine what their macks were dirty with!! *shivers* *gags*

Oh, yes, that is exactly something Jackie would say! Thank you, that helps!

This may be too late to be of help, but I looked up the term above & found:

"Dirty mac or raincoat brigade. A term for men who frequent sex shops, watch BLUE MOVIES in seedy cinemas, and buy pornographic magazines from the TOP SHELF of newsagents. The name alludes to the dirty mackintosh they supposedly wear to achieve anonymity. The expression dates from the 1970s."

This is from: 'Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable' --"One of the world's best-loved reference books. First published in 1870, this treasury of 'words that have a tale to tell has established itself as one of the great reference classics-the first port of call for tens of thousands of terms, phrases and proper names, and a fund of fascinating, unusual and out-of-the-way information."

I love the meanings of words, and tend to get "stuck" in dictionaries, etc!

*Hugs*

Nope, it's not too late. Thanks!
