Uber Cocker

(noun) Also Über Cocker A portmanteau of “über” (German for super, ultra, or beyond) and “alter cocker” (Yiddish for old guy or old coot, literally “old defecator”). Refers to a legendary-grade elder, typically male, whose opinions are as unyielding as his sense of superiority is justified. An Über Cocker isn’t just old—he’s mythologically seasoned. He predates social media, dot-coms, and sometimes the concept of patience itself. He also predates the ride-sharing app, which leads to generational confusion when he uses “über” in its original sense—leaving Millennials and Gen Z blinking in semantic disarray. Etymology: From über (German: over, above, supreme) + alter cocker (Yiddish: old man, curmudgeon). First used to describe someone who makes Larry David seem like a TikTok intern.
