"This one`s well past its sell-by. " He stepped back as Jack climbed out of the car. "Female, partly buried. Bang in the middle of the waste land."
What`s the meaning of the first sentance?
Tnx in advance.

It's probably referring to the fact that food usually goes bad after the 'sell-by' date on the package. So I guess they're saying the body is decomposing.

It probably means this woman buried in the waste dump is decomposed. Sell by in this sentence is used like a perishable item sell by date, like milk or yogurt. "best if sold by this date"

Do you mean that you meant the word "mean" in its original meaning or are you too mean to meet my mean standards? Oh, I'm going to start moaning about your mixing up all those m-words...
