don cheadle

To don cheadle someone is to call someone old (or very often: just say DAMN!) after they told their age, usually when they're around the same age and topic wasn't even about their age.

Phrase is inspired by show Hart to Heart hosted by Kevin Hart, where the host - Kevin Hart did it to Don Cheadle (www.youtube.com/shorts/WlO0WT71DtQ - clip from that episode).
That's why it holds name "getting don cheadle'd" or "to don cheadle someone".
- "...and me, you know, i'm 56 years old"
- "DAMN!... I'm sorry.."

- I haven't thought about kids yet, some people find it weird, because, and don't don cheadle me; i'm 42 years old.

- Mom, how old are you?
- 38 honey
- DAMN!

- I still play this and i'm 27
- Holy shit; you're old
- Come on! Don't don cheadle him like that
