I looked up Dick and Twink on Google.

Should have used safe filter.

‘Common sense”… both the words and the thought process…:)

You don't hear them at all anymore.

All the words so far are fairly common around my neck of the woods, except perhaps Joe Cuddy, I only know a Jack Cuddy.

My contribution is "oft" which bizarrely has often been dropped in favour of the longer version.

spurious

Often used in the automotive industry/world when referring to 'copies' of OEM car parts, ie 'spurious parts'

"The spurious parts also display logos, trademarks, packaging and, at times, even holograms of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), claiming to be the genuine/OEM part of the vehicle manufacturer. These parts also advertise themselves such as “Made for ….. (Brand Name)”

You should check out Susie Dent's twitter, lots of lost words.

Word of the day is ‘smellfungus’ (19th century): a habitual grumbler who will find fault in anything and everything
Word of the day is 'quisquilious' (17th century): 'worthless' or 'trivial'; an obscure and rather beautiful way to describe something as rubbish.
Word of the day is ‘clinomania’: the excessive desire to stay in bed.

And so on...

Ecumenical.

e.g. That would be an ecumenical matter.

JeffKenna

Gay being used to describe happy.

Working class heroes

Valetudinarianism. I first came across it in Jane Austen's Emma.
Same meaning as hypochondria.
My favourite word........

Twice seems to be gone.

Three times I can live with.

Crapulence

Easily the most amazing synonym for “hungover,” crapulence comes from the Latin word crapula, which just means “hungover.”

Why we thought saying “I’m super hungover” sounded better than, “I’m completely crapulent right now,” I will never know.

I think we should bring it back.

Haven’t heard ‘cat malogen’ used in a long time.

Thanks.

It's ironic, but you don't see the word Aparchaiomenlogism used at all any more*

From the Greek "απαρχαιωμένος" (meaning "obsolete") + logism, (referring to a word)


*

probably because I just made it up.

Personally I'd say your indolence is inefficacious since with Smithers out of the way I was free to wallow in my own crapulence.

Hyperbollix

Horrid. As in the bog version. "Jayse, the hate is horrid Jimmy......... splittin the stones out so it is"

The posh version has the same meaning and probably heard on Downton Abbey and the like "Oh Charlotte, he was simply horrid to me all evening, really beastly. I shan't ever forget it"

Hamsterchops

Tinkers (meaning travelers).

Always tinkers when I was young, not any more though.

Government buildings

That reminds me of a phrase I haven't heard in years.

Indolent torpidity.

It sort of fits my state a lot of the time.

The mother in law would use that one often enough, rural Limerick, 'the weather is cat malogen!'.

Cringeworthy. It's mostly been replaced by cringey. I still persevere in using cringeworthy though. It's far more satisfying to say.

I hate the word 'oft'. There's something a bit precious about it. It was never commonly used though, at least in any of my circles. Often was alway used far more.

the "shores" instead of "drains", IE the shore's blocked again, I haven't heard in while. Bowler for a dog was another. Though I think both are/were more Dublin based.
