"old man trouble"
Hi English_Experts,
In some popular American songs I came across the idiom (or metaphor) "old man trouble" (e.g in "I got rhythm, I got music..." sung by Gene Kelly or Ella Fizzgerald).
What's the meaning of this? What do they mean, when they talk about this peculiar "old man trouble"?
Thank you
