"to be over the hill"
definition: to be past your prime, to be old.
(nebýt už nejmladší)
example: "Every time I see these kids and their baseball caps I can't help but feel over the hill."
origin: A reference to a journey over a hill. Once you reach the top of the hill and begin your journey down, you have past the midpoint and are on the downside or decline (over the hill). With age, once you have past your peak, you are on the downside.

RIDICULOUS STATEMENT
THIS MAKES ZERO SENSE ITS JUST ABSURD!!! SURELY THE YOUNGER GENERATION ARE THE MORE LIKELY TO BE OVER THE HILL AS THEY HAVE FRESHER YOUNGER LIMBS AND ARE GENERALLY SPEAKING BETTER SUITED FOR CLIMBING. I'M SIMPLY OUTRAGED.
THIS GUY KNOWS THE SCORE. HE IS ON THE BALL WITH THIS ANALYSIS. TRUE SAY THE YOUNGER MAN WOULD BE MUCH FURHER OVER THE HILL THAN THE OLD TIMERS. OLD PEOPLE CANNOT CLIMB HILLS AND THEREFORE COULD NEVER BE OVER SAID HILL
I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF NOW I'M TEMPTED TO TAKE THIS TO THE POLICE ITS REALLY RUFFLED MY FEATHERS.
I'M IN A REAL PICKLE HERE. I HAVE TO BE AWAKE EARLY AND NOW I'M GOING TO BE CHEWING MY TEETH OVER THIS CONUNDRUM ALL NIGHT.
