When I was a young-pup priestling, I would occasionally say something sufficiently curmudgeonly to sound as if it ought come out of the mouth of someone with many more years. Father Paul Langpaap, the retired Canon to the Ordinary of the Diocese of Olympia, would chide me: "You're not old enough to belong to the OFC." This was Paul's abbreviation for "Old Farts Club" and he reserved its usage to those retired priests who had earned the right to be critical of modern policies and modern leaders. I think it was a term of veneration, at least in the archdeacon's lexicon.
