His rancor probably went back to a high-school course in Geometry conducted by an old poop named Dr. Fanensel.

Ray was one of Aluteyn's closest human cronies until the old poop decided Chopper was getting too big for his britches.

Someone even shouted, "Get over it, you old poop."

I'm going to do my damnedest for her, even though I'm just an old poop one step this side of fossilization.

They satisfied themselves at last that I had heard nothing, and was a harmless old poop, in any event.

The old poop couldn't look after himself anymore, and hardly knew where he was.

There are many addled old poops, no good at counting money anymore, and immigrants talking gibberish, maddeningly imagining it to be English, in line ahead of me.

The result is, in his own words, "here I am, an old poop," who finds the concentration necessary for stage work "physically tiring."

As far as she was concerned, all patients could be divided into two categories: "good sports" and "old poops."

And she would just tell him so if he started being an "old poop" again tonight.
