knock on
informal grow old
she's knocking on a bit
Oxford Dictionary of English
I've heard it used once on BBC Radio London's Drivetime show with Eddie Nestor by Eddie Nestor himself (if memory serves). Since only two of my dictionaries actually register this meaning (namely Oxford Dictionary of English and The Chambers Dictionary, 11th Edition) I would be grateful if you could tell me whether you know this phrasal verb, have heard it or use it.
Thanks.
