Hunt and Peck 

A person (usually a child, but some adults without experience may be one), that is not used to the layout of a keyboard (ie. no abc, the qwerty setup), and instead finds the letter (generally slowly), and then "pecks it" (hence the name).

Lots of people are becoming hunt and peckers, some are Touch-Typers (know the layout of a keyboard, don't need to look, etc).

Hunt and Peck 

Name of the innovative team that came up with the qwerty keyboard layout to slow down typists to prevent old mechanical typewriters from jamming.

Masters at inventing ways to slow people down, Hunt went on to inventing a catsup that pours more slowly and Peck went on to inventing a method of eating that made it take four times as long to eat your meal.

Hunt and Peck Typer 

Literally the worst insult you can imagine. Saying this will end someone's career in one blow. They (and their bloodline) will have no employment opportunities and will likely die from the roast. Saying this is the easiest way to induce mass genocide.
"Hey man, I bought some bepis, do you--"
"STFU, you're just a hunt and peck typer."

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
