Vieux routier = old truck driver

Somehow, I don't think it conveys the same sense of wizened experience that Old Hand does. I picture some old, chain-smoking dude, his checkered shirt missing the bottom button; riding in the cab of his old beat-up Mack truck with "Born to ride the white line" spray-painted on the doors and the booby-chick mud flaps, pulling on the bullhorn-line as he sees a young chickie by the side of the road.

it's really not nice to say cackling around an OP.

Oh dear tsuwm, are you going to get all touchy on us? (Or touchy-feely?)

...and it's even less nice to say "touchy-feely" to a(n) hOP. (notice how we're still on-topic here?)
