"Calling someone old Fruit is a term of indearment...like calling someone Old Boy"

I'm curious now. In which culture is 'old fruit' a term of endearment?

And calling somebody "boy"-old or young, can get you in a mess of trouble in My neighborhood.

But OK. Since you explained this colloquialism to me, I'm no longer on a set. *

Flamenco Ted, you can come out of hiding now.

:O)


* on a set=angry; not that I really was. But still, old fruit?!
Well, you learn something new everyday.
