Never really understood this one. Is that an old term for wandering aimlessly or something, because good gravy, do I know some old men who can't stop doing that
Yeah, I haven't really heard the expression myself used for people like that, but it's a play on "old man is buzzing about" -> "flies buzz about" -> "old man caught on flypaper like a fly"
Yeah it's a term I heard in the 80s, "stop buzzing around and do something useful"
