Default Re: Half a man

Hi, Belly,
It's difficult to say without a context. What springs to mind is from the Beatles' "Yesterday"
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be

which means, IMHO, he is much weaker and unhappier.
Or it could as well be taken from a horror story
They found half a man on the beach. = half a body
Regards
