You use this phrase to mean something that has been in existence for a very long time. You might say "I've lived here for ages," or "That book has been checked out of the library for ages." Sometimes, "ages" is a literal term, meaning decades or generations, such as houses or monuments which have "been here for ages." Other times, it is an exaggeration, such as "I've been waiting in line for ages."
