I know what Breakfast at Tiffany's is, I've just never seen it.  I don't think I've ever seen that version of Robin Hood either.  Safe bet, since the only one I have seen is the Disney version.  


So you just don't watch old movies in general?

Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck does "long in the tooth" mean?

I haven't seen alot of old movies...I think the only one I've seen with Audrey Hepburn is Sabrina.  The only reason I've seen that one is that the version with Harrison Ford used to be my favorite movie, and my best friend Melody thought it was a crime that I hadn't seen the old one, so she bought it for me.

Long in the Tooth
According to Brewer's, the phrase comes from horses, whose gums recede with age making the teeth appear longer.

The OED2 doesn't record a usage prior to 1972, but Safire traces back at least to 1852 when it was used by Thackerey

You could have just said it means something is getting old.

Indeed.


Classics never get old.  

That's my third favorite Disney movie, behind Sleeping Beauty (because Maleficent is the most evil Disney villain *ever* and she turns into a Dragon) and Sword in the Stone.

Er, old as in age-wise.

I agree, classics never get old... but you got to watch them first.  ;)

If I go before you, I'll take that into consideration.



Doh, this duel went poorly  :-[

MsFish defeats you with 3 matchpoints!
Shamed, you are forced to bow before your better.
