True. Figure of speech more than an accurate appraisal. They are not leaking, they have not blown and there is no discernible difference in the ride of the car. Just because they eventually degrade does not mean they are not still functioning fine even if not like new. I have retired a couple of cars with 400K on the original shocks without a single issue or any noticeable change in function.
