| Nov 19, 2016 at 14:51 | comment | added | jaxter | This is an adaptation of very apt phrase or adage, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". Given that the principle in the adage is universal, that is, it is true of all old dogs, the phrase "I'm just an old dog" carries the implication already; the remainder is redundant. Also, unfortunately, it's not a word, as the O.P. requested. | |
