Krankheiten berg Just Hill, Gerhard

no question, just for fun: he's over the hill

Hallo Leute,

ich hab heute wieder was überraschendes von OWAD (http://www.owad.de) bekommen:

* * * he's over the hill * * *

bedeutet:

c) he's too old to be useful

'Over the hill' is not the same as ''Über den Berg sein'
which means 'Das schlimmste überstanden haben, z.B. bei
Krankheiten.'

Be careful, 'over the hill' in English means something quite
different:

Past one's prime, past one's best.
'nicht mehr in den besten Jahren'
