An old-fashioned, out-of-touch person who clings to outdated ideas and customs; a fogey or old fuddy-duddy.
Origin uncertain, possibly a variant or corruption of 'fogey.' Some scholars suggest it may combine 'fog' with an ending like 'gram,' but the true etymology remains murky, much like its definition.
This delightfully obscure word perfectly captures that grumpy uncle who insists vinyl records sound better and refuses to learn how to use email—English has so many creative ways to describe people stuck in the past!
Old-fashioned term using '-gram' (though sometimes spelled '-grum'); a variant of fogie/fogy with the same male-coded dismissal of age and resistance to change.
Use 'person with old-fashioned views' or 'traditionalist' to avoid gendered age stereotyping.
["traditionalist","person with conservative views","old-fashioned thinker"]
