Gaffer \Gaf"fer\, n. [Possibly contr. fr. godfather; but prob.
   fr. gramfer for grandfather. Cf. {Gammer}.]
   1. An old fellow; an aged rustic.

            Go to each gaffer and each goody.     --Fawkes.

   Note: Gaffer was originally a respectful title, now
         degenerated into a term of familiarity or contempt when
         addressed to an aged man in humble life.

   2. A foreman or overseer of a gang of laborers. [Prov. Eng.]
