has been
Glory days past
A has-been is someone who was once prominent, successful, or important but is no longer relevant or at the peak of their abilities: He's just a washed-up has-been.
The term is dismissive, suggesting the person's best days are behind them.
Usually hyphenated as a noun.
Without the hyphen, has been is simply the present perfect form of be: She has been waiting for an hour.
