From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
Troglodyte \Trog"lo*dyte\, n. [L. troglodytae, pl., Gr. ? one
who creeps into holes; ? a hole, cavern (fr. ? to gnaw) + ?
enter: cf. F. troglodyte.]
1. (Ethnol.) One of any savage race that dwells in caves,
instead of constructing dwellings; a cave dweller. Most of
the primitive races of man were troglodytes.
Anyone who is old enough to have used a PDP-11 is a troglodyte by today's standards. Punching cards? Ewwwww! Like, ewwww! (Use Southern California 15 year old accent on that Ewww...)
