เฒ่าหัวงู

Explanation

เฒ่า refers to an old person, while หัวงู literally means “snake's head.” Learn the whole expression as an established insult rather than a description of someone's appearance. It suggests lechery and can imply that the man uses charm or tricks to approach young women for sexual purposes. It functions as a noun: เป็นเฒ่าหัวงู means “to be a dirty old man.” The expanded form ตาเฒ่าหัวงู is also common. The classifier is คน.

Usage

Used in informal conversation to criticize an older man's lecherous behavior or warn someone about him. It also appears in dramatic dialogue and online comments.

Caution

Even when used jokingly, this is an insult. It is not a neutral label for an older man or someone in an age-gap relationship. Avoid it in polite settings or when addressing someone respectfully.
