A Q&A programme about the phrase 'old sport'.

"Hello. My name is Victor. I heard "old sport" many times in the movie The Great Gatsby. I know it's a personal expression for Gatsby to show his character. But what exactly does it mean? Is it just a catchphrase? Thank you."

But what does it mean, and why does he use it so much?
