grey-headed (not comparable)

  1. Alternative form of gray-headed
    • 1854, The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, page 114:
      It is true that there are men to be found who never rise beyond a curacy; as there are grey-headed midshipmen occasionally to be seen in the navy. But the former case is quite as rare as the latter; promotion is the rule, non-promotion the exception, in both professions.
