phrases you never hear anymore...

ouch. dave still says that one, too.

 

"lay a coil" ? take a "Humpty Dumpty" ?

 

nope. but if i tell him the coil one, he's bound to use it.

 

ewww... lol.

I made up a saying... has anyone heard of it? It's "Hey-ho" as in the kids are around and you want to swear "What the hey-ho did I do with my magic eraser?" Been around since about 2001.

 

"dump my butt"

 

My dad used to say "Out the Squawheeho," where squawheeho (sp?) means butt, but he may have made it up. He'd also say "Time to Hit the Old Macadam" for let's go.

 

Peace (along with the two-finger peace sign)

Give Peace a Chance. (now it's 'Give the Surge a Chance')

Take it Easy (although I still hear it occasionally depending on what area I'm in)

.

 

Cut it out before I get 'sore'.

'Sore' is really really old. Little Rascals stuff. Even grandparents sometimes laugh when they hear someone using that expression.

.

 

Petered out.

I guess that means pooped out, dissipated, etc.

.

 

mellow out and layed back. 'chill' seems to be intended as a replacement, but doesn't really for me convey the same positive good feeling.

good vibes.

and i had no idea 'warm fuzzies' had become a trivialization.

at any rate, language evolves. that's what languages do.
when your young you're on the leading edge of their doing so.
when you get older you start falling behind and not keeping up with their doing so.

nothing new about any of that either. just the specifics that are constantly in ever chainging motion. tugged this way and that for an endless variety of reasons.

.../\...

 

i was gonna say something about "to the max" but it's on here, drat.

did someone mention "buzzkill" ?
cause that's a good one.

Jacked up is my new favorite phrase

 

I gotta drop the kids off at the pool.(the shitter of course).---One from the 50s---I'm gonna slap your head to a point and then kick the point off!!!

 

My aunt used to say"I'm too pooped to pop"!

 

'mellow out' was very popular in the 60s and 70s.

'What's your bag'?

'freak' and 'freaked out'

George Carlin used to report that a horrible freak accident occurred on the highway. Two freaks in a microbus crashed into three freaks in a van.

And, as Flip Wilson used to say, it takes a thousand nuts to hold a car together but only one to spread them all over the highway.

.

 

"let's blow this popsicle stand" - my dad says that alot..
"hit the pavement"

NEW ONE:
"it's like a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up"

 

that paints a funny mental picture in my brain.....

 

Peachy Keen Jelly Bean.

I still use this one we I am irritated or having a bad day and people keep asking how I am or how thing are going.

 

swell.

 

golly...
