   no spring chicken

      American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms:

   no spring chicken


   Home > Library > Literature & Language > Idioms

   No longer a young person, as in Sally's no spring chicken, but she
   plays a fine game of tennis. This unflattering expression, often
   applied to women, has been used since the early 1700s, although spring
   was omitted from the earliest citation (1711).
