Although a more important meaning of 'OP' amongst my friends is Old Peculiar, specifically Theakstons Old Peculiar! Especially when found on cask.

Just to be Overly Pedantic (ref post #4), that should be "Old Peculier".

Theakston Old Peculier

T&R Theakston Ltd is an independent, family brewing company founded in 1827 located in the Yorkshire Dales market town of Masham, North Yorkshire. Home to legendary ales such as Old Peculier. Learn more.

The name pays tribute to the unique ecclesiastical status of Masham as a ‘Court of the Peculier’ and is also a reference to the strong characteristic of the beer!

Peculier is a beautiful, yet very simple beer, brewed using a very generous blend of finest pale, crystal, and roasted barley with two bitter hops combined with the majestic and noble Fuggle’ hop to produce a beer of awesome full-bodied flavour with subtle cherry and rich fruit overtones.

No because let’s be honest, most “normals” consider us rail enthusiasts as odd people!
