New features, blah, how about customer service and support?

I recommended Movable Type to a co-worker, now I’m sorry I did.

Jeff, here is the origin of “long in the tooth”. I always wonder about those things too and can’t help looking them up sometimes.

The expression derives from horses, of all things. As horses age, their gums recess, which is the origin of the practice of examining a horse’s teeth to determine its age (and therefore value), a sort of early version of kicking the tires. (Horse traders, like used-car salesman, are not to be trusted.) An old horse’s gums will have recessed so much that the roots of the teeth are visible, thus making the teeth appear longer–hence long in the tooth to mean ‘old’, and hence used figuratively paralleling figurative senses of ‘old’ such as ‘past one’s prime’.

“long in the tooth” refers to the situation that gums tend to recede as you get older, making the teeth look longer – possibly more obvious in prior generations in the Western world, but still apparent.
