has been
has been ['azbin] n. m. invar.
ÉTYM. 1932, en sports (boxe), in G. Petiot; expr. verbale angl., de has, passé de to have « avoir », et been, p. p. de to be « être » : « qui a été ».
Anglic. Personne qui a eu du succès, de la notoriété et ne l'a plus (ou en a moins). || « Il (un homme politique anglais) commence de s'enfoncer dans le passé. Et rentre (sic) doucement dans la catégorie toute britannique des has been, celle des hommes qui ont été. Et qui ne sont plus » (le Point, 9 oct. 1972, p. 71). || « Camus est un cas. Le petit monde littéraire qui volète et caquète autour des livres ne s'occupe plus guère de lui. Certes, Camus n'est plus maudit. Simplement classé has been, sans que personne ait osé l'écrire » (le Point, no 591, 16 janv. 1984, p. 117). || C'est un has been, un ringard.
1 … On se dit que, cette fois, ça y est, qu'il est rangé, fatigué, vieilli, usé, mort… Modèle dépassé… Has been ! Et puis le revoilà, transformé, repeint, refuselé, fendant l'air (…)
Ph. Sollers, Femmes, p. 82-83.
2 Le rêve de Kate : que les hommes soient très jeunes, ou définitivement vieux… Sur le point d'être, ou « has been »… Trépidants, ardents, idéalisants; ou, au contraire, philosophes, lents, résignés…
Ph. Sollers, Femmes, p. 253.
