| age before beauty (A phrase said to allow older people to go before younger ones. Usage notes Now most often used humorously or lightheartedly, and usually said by a younger person to an older friend or relative out of mock pity (for being so much older and unattractive – even if such is not the case). In most instances it would be considered rude for a younger man to say this to an older woman. Val_Ships) | |||
