I am looking for a synonym of " an old man"
There is a suffix in Russian "ok" (for male nouns) and "echk, ochk" for female , which gives a noun hint of meaning "small and I like it", for example, muzhik - man - muzhichok (small man)
So if there is a word for an old man - starik - what would be a colloquial for - starichok?

I'm an old man. A graybeard. A senior citizen, with senility incipient. A great-grandfather. An old fossil.
A pathetic hasbeen. An octogenarian. Father Time without a scythe. A geriatrician's patient. A gerontologic problem.An antique relict. Methuselah's living grandfather. A pathetic passé patriarch ruling no one.

old man: a geezer, an old goat, an elder (that's my maiden name and it's also a respectful term), an aged one, a ripe soul, a well-seasoned scout...
...and it's starting to storm here, so gotta go!

Keiva: you are not welcome to post in AWADtalk. Extorsion of undeserved reinstatedmen after
having been justifiably banned is contemptible.

Excuse me, dr. bill, but are you sufficiently aware of the the facts to be confident that your words "extortion", "undeserved", and "justifiably" are accurate?
I am sending you a very brief PM noting a post that might suggest to you reasons why you might question that degree of confidence.

Keiva: I was your friend until you threatened to "nuke" the board, if you did not
get your way. You got your way by extortion. I have nothing but contempt
for you. You will never be welcome to post on AWADtalk.

God, you're a bore.
Go away. Speak of being a gentleman where none you have deeply hurt can hear you and they may actually reckon you one . Go away. Safe journey. Go away. You are not welcome here. Go away. You find death threats in fond wishes and fondness in disdain. Go away. You are not welcome here. Go away.
