This thread is dedicated to dying and dead old sayings we used to utter.

I do this sometimes with out of fashion words and have been trying to bring 'fab' back in, but am having little luck.

Here's a short list of oldies which should be recycled....lol....

[Baron Greenback]

Not sure if it is the same thing or even very relevant but at school we used to have loads of obscure phrases or sayings.

"Green beard" combined with chin stroking was used when we thought someone was lying.

Saying someone's name, they turn & say 'yeah?' then you say 'complex'

A real slur was calling someone an 'abortion'

How cruel & unusual kids can be

Oh I thought of another one, if you had something you wanted to give away (sweets for example) but did not want to show favoritism you would shout: "Quiz!" & the first to reply "Ego" would get it - ahhh a classical education can't beat it.




(oh & many years ago 'gay' used to mean happy )
