"same old same old " is an idiom used to say that a situation or someone's behaviour remains the same, especially when it is boring or annoying 'How's work going?' 'Oh, you know. Same old same old.' maybe "Howard" has to do with the context where you read it.

In american english, i have never heard this phrase. but it must mean, "same old (kind of) guy".?

Howard? Do you mean the guy in the TV series "the big bang theory" ? If it is, i wanna tell you i love Sheldon Cooper sssssooooooo mmmmuchhhhhh!!!!

i guess it means "still doing the same thing" cowboy...
