This one has me puzzled. Since "he's" can denote both "he is" and "he has", what are we in fact stating when we comment someone having gotten on in years?
Are we saying "He is past his prime" or "He has passed his prime"?
I can't remember when I last saw this particular phrase in writing and I am indeed stumped.
Thanks.
