Sure! "Long in the tooth" means getting older.👴 It's an idiom that originally referred to the age of horses. As horses age, their gums recede, making the teeth appear longer. So, when you hear someone describe as "long in the tooth", they're subtly suggesting that person is aging or experienced. It's often used humorously or lightly, without any intent to offend. However, it's worth noting, like all figures of speech, context is key when using this phrase! 😊
