TODAY'S IDIOM: OUT-OF-DATE

"OUT-OF-DATE"

Something is out-of-date if it is old and therefore no longer useful or no longer accurate. 

Example: I didn't know the timetable was out-of-date. I got it off the internet so I thought it'd be new, not an old one from the 1990's.

Pasado de moda / Vencido / Viejo

Example sentences:

• Don't waste money on old textbooks because they could be out-of-date and the information might no longer be correct / No desperdicies dinero en libros viejos que podrían estar pasados de moda y la información podría no ser correcta.

• The map we had was out-of-date, so we had trouble finding our way / El mapa que tenemos está viejo, así que tuvimos problemas al encontrar nuestro camino.

Additional examples:

• The 70's style couch is out of date.

• That program had been updated; your version is out of date.

• The milk expired two weeks ago and is thus out of date.
