Thread: 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

Hi Mustermisstler,

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

Un saludo.
