Tribal elder. A title self-assumed with remarkable frequency by
(esp.) Usenetters who have been programming for more than about 25
years; often appears in {sig block}s attached to Jargon File
contributions of great archeological significance. This is a term of
insult in the second or third person but one of pride in first
person.
