Glory Days

n. or adj. A middle-aged man whose prime has long passed, and is in denial that the glory days ever ended. Particularly applies to ex-jocks who now work as ineffective high school math or science teachers just so they can coach football and flirt inappropriately with cheerleaders.

Check out Glory Days over there, with his tan and his arm around that underage girl.

glory days

Days we remember as better and more fulfilling than today. Glory days are often associated with popularity and successful party throwing.

Remember our Pop Culture Spelling Bee? Those were the glory days.

glory days effect

The Glory Days Effect is when you are remembering someone's physical appearance from the past, as being WAY more impressive than it ACTUALLY was, and your memory plays tricks on you.

E.g. You remember the person as being super jacked, fit, shredded, etc. But when you go back and look at old pictures/watch the old movies, they don't look NEARLY as impressive as they did in your memory.

"Damn Bro, remember how shredded Brad Pitt was in Fight Club?" (Then you look and realize he was dope fiend lean, and about 150 lbs).

"DAMN, my mind's playing tricks on me, that's gotta be The Glory Days Effect".

"I went to HS with this guy who never took steroids, was 7% Bodyfat, and benching 405 lbs" (Then you go back and see a training video, and realize he was doing half reps with 3 spotters).

"Naw Bro, he couldn't even do that with 3 plates by himself, you got hit by The Glory Days Effect".

"Omg Ryan Reynolds in Blade: Trinity was jacked AF!" (You look in the mirror and realize you are now WAY bigger, and leaner than he was back then).

"That's so crazy, I actually look better than this now... Definitely The Glory Days Effect, in full force".

the glory days

A certain time. Where you reminisce the good old days. When everything was easy. You didn't have any worries in the world. No bills, no debts, nothing. Something to look back to and think "Man, I miss them days". Going down nostalgia lane and reminiscing your school days maybe, or just aching for one last moment to visit your first girlfriends house, or the house where you grew up. The memories will never die. They will always remain in your heart.

In 'The Office', David Brent says to the Swindon lot, let's have a photo....without YOU. The Glory Days.....quoting, him, Tim, Dawn, Gareth...all the old crew, just remembering what a wonderful time they used to have.....keep hope!!

holding on to the glory days

When an older guy who is balding is trying to feel for his hair which no longer exists to fix it.

"Dude did you see Uncle Jim at the wedding last night?"
"Yeah!, he was totally holding on to the glory days!"
"Totally"

a guy who lives in his glory days

Guy was a pretty good HS football player but 40 years later STILL can’t stop talking about his modest accomplishments.

Joey was a decent QB in HS but NEVER went further, talks constantly about how great he was in his underwhelming a guy who lives in his glory days ” and everyone is sick and tired of his bullshit.
