A "GOM" is an irritable and cranky senior who might be quick to complain or express dissatisfaction. While the term often refers to men over the age of 65, it can also apply to younger individuals displaying a similar cranky demeanor. The image of the GOM is typically one of reluctance towards changing times and a certain nostalgia for the past.
The term originates from the stereotype of older men as curmudgeons. People primarily use it jokingly, but they may also use it seriously, to which some recipients may take offense.
