Over the hill Explanation: Another suggestion http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/over the hill http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=over the hill -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2017-03-13 17:23:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi, Tania. It can be used to like that, but it can also have the meaning of someone who has reached middle age and is now on the slow descent (hence the hill) towards old age. 'Past his prime' could be another suggestion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2017-03-13 17:29:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My pleasure. |
