aged like milk (the metaphor means "to lose relevance" and simply highlights the declining significance of the aged information; the origin of the metaphor is a bit tricky to pinpoint definitively, but it likely emerged in online communities in the early 2010s, with no clear distinction between American or British English. It quickly gained traction due to its simplicity and effectiveness in conveying the idea of something becoming outdated or poorly conceived: This meme aged like milk. It was hilarious yesterday, but now it's painfully unfunny Taras) |
