Seen its better days

Hadn't had much oportunitee to speek my native languge har.

Been havin' to learn sum ole Franch. But I have notised sum Suthern in the Franch language.

Well jist d' utter day I came across sumtin I had not heerd in many moons.

In Franch dey say: "Le manteau a connu des jours meilleurs"= literaly= "The coat has known better days,"="The coat is worn out."

Very similar, I'd say "that thar coat has seen its better days, we'd better git rid of it and get us a new one."
