Se os seniors forem estudantes, talvez caiba este termo. Caso contrário, os mais antigos, os mais velhos.

Explanation:
Não sei a que se refere "seniors".
Pode ser um chefe, um superior hierárquico, um aluno finalista, um veterano (como os colega sugerem), etc.

"Tanga" em português europeu pode ser tanto uma "mentira", quanto uma "brincadeira", "reinar".
