单词 | on the shelf |
释义 | on the shelf [British] used to describe a middle-aged woman who some people consider to be too old to be attractive to men, and who is therefore unlikely to ever marry. Many people dislike this expression because of the attitude which it represents. I certainly don't equate being single with being on the shelf! Easy Learning Idioms Dictionary.
