no spring chicken

     Hi all,
     I have a doubt about the expression "no spring chicken".
     Can it be used both for women and men?
     For example :
     I don't know how old he is, but obviously he is no spring chicken.
     Although she was no spring chicken herself, she concealed her age
     with exquisite grace.
     Thanks

Re: no spring chicken

     Hi Mustermisstler,
     Yes, "no spring chicken" can be used for either gender, at least in
     the US.
     Un saludo.

     Corríjanme, por favor.
