In some parts of England the two words were used interchangeably, whereas in other regions they were separate words, one meaning beggar and the other eccentric/grotesque fellow. The latter meaning is the one used in an early example of old codger, David [Garricks] [farce] [Bon] Ton, 1775:
[My Lords] servants call you an old out-of-fashiond [Codger].
Men who had fallen on hard times and had resorted to any means possible to keep body and soul together were often those who were too old to find work. A cadger was likely to be a [grizzled] character wanting to borrow or steal from you; a codger was a peculiar and unfashionable chap, and both were likely to be old. Old codger is most likely to be the linguistic merging of all those images.
