Noun[edit]
fogeydom (uncountable)
- The state of being a fogey.
- 2012, Andrew Greig, “Paths to Enlightenment”, in Literary Review, number 399:
- The latent fogeydom never goes away entirely: contemporary or modern architecture, derided as ‘childish’, ‘infantile’ or plain ‘ugly’, is consistently and erroneously elided with postwar cheap tower-block brutalism and the destruction of town centres.
