From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) :

  old fart
   n.
  
      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 blocks attached to Jargon File contributions of great
      archeological significance. This is a term of insult in the second or third
