Words or phrases you don't use anymore?

Hurricane-Dean

Heard a friend of mine calling someone a muck savage, hadn't heard that in years. So what words or phrases have you not used in a long time? Another on is saying that something is "weapon" :rolleyes:

Load of ring.

Scrambled egg

A few of my friends have gotten into the unusual habit of referring to people who do something stupid or foolish as being a "dimebar" , you remember the bar. Probably the worst bar to be called.

Bollocking. Heard it for the first time in years there a few weeks ago.
"If I don't go into work, the boss will give me a bollocking."
I near fell about laughing, because it had been so long since I'd heard it.

RussellTuring

"I love you". Haven't had to say that for a while. Don't plan on using it again any time soon.

Tallon

"Yes, I do live in an economically stable country"

It conjures up disturbing images. You are wearing wellies.

I love old slang, one of the lads told me he saw a donnybrook in town one night and I bust my hole laughing, what a great word

stiffler123

"Sound as a pound". That phrase should be buried back where it belongs in 1993.

Except for stuff like 'ecker' and 'wazzaaap' and the 80's stuff, all that's been mentioned is still alive and well in Mullingar vernacular :pac:

"ye" when addressing more than one person.

I finally found out that its petty much an extinct word. Its from middle English but is still used here.

Flip off.

"Clunge" isn't a word people don't use anymore.

Referring to a hot person as a ride seems to have fizzled out.

I never knew that. I use " Ye ", much of the time, whether referring to one or more persons. I write it because that's how I speak. I don't pronounce " You " like 'U'.

I actually started typing this in response to others typing " Ya ". I thought only Americans said that for 'You'. I wished to differentiate myself from them but still liked the idea of typing as I sounded.

Trouble is; Many people suppose my 'ye' mean't to sound like the Hammer Horror type "ye(e)"

Sorry. I'm boring my own arse off now. But, thanks for the interesting heads up.

two of my fave slang words - scratcher and bin lids. i actually hate the way so many words in slang are converted in to some other term that sounds like the word but definitely doesnt make sense. but bin lids is gas cos it makes me think of 'ill bleedin' batter / clatter you' (granny years ago) makes me think of bin lids.

theres not many terms i no longer use - i wont throw away a good phrase till its worn out :pac:
although i dont think ive heard 'giz a shufty' in years

Sunnyisland

sketch (run)

Lob (look out boy)

shades (guards)

allandanyways

Whopper as in "Jayz lads that film is fookin whopper!" or "She's feckin whopper, I'd love to meet her".

Was all the rage when I was a teenager, even had "whopper" tippexed on the back of my school journal because I was clearly mad ouvveh.

"Give us a drag " .... asking your mate for a smoke of his cigarette

My Grandma had some classic expressions, "What the Dickens" "You will have square eyes from watching too much TV", rectangular eyes these days.

Holybejaysus

I remember a brief period circa 1994 when the big thing was to tell someone to rack off. Home and Away was big back then.

Oh, and another thing you don't hear much nowadays is 'woe betide' if you do something bad. The auld wans were made for that..
