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.
– “My uncle Saul’s an Uber Cocker—he argues with the GPS and wins.”
– “Don’t tell an Uber Cocker how to make coffee; he’s been doing it since before espresso was ironic.”
– “Gen Z thinks he’s talking about ridesharing, but no—he’s an Uber Cocker from way back.”
– “My dad refuses to download the Uber app because he says he was über before Uber existed. Total Über Cocker.”
– “You can’t win an argument with an Über Cocker—he’s been rehearsing since the Nixon administration.”
– “When an Über Cocker says ‘back in my day,’ time itself sighs.”
