Pasarsele el arroz a alguien

[ROBINDESBOIS]

A alguien se le pasa el arroz, cuando pierde una oportunidad normalmente por edad, por ejemplo un examen importante, cuando somos jóvenes tenemos más ganas de empollar, pero cuando la edad aprieta es más difícil concentrarse y decimos se nos ha pasado el arroz o hemos perdido el tren.
IN ENGLISH?

Look here.

perder el tren = to miss the boat

Hola ,

Se le ha pasado el arroz = he is over the hill / past his prime
Literalmente, "He has been passed the rice many times in his life"
¿Estoy correcto?

gracias

Pasarse is the verb in the idiomatic expression. When talking about rice, it means to get overcooked. So, the literal translation of the expression is more like "His rice has been overcooked."

Podría decir, Su arroz se añejó?
