Words of yesteryear
A previous post contained the word 'umpteenth'. I commented that it was a Gran type word to say, and it got me to reminiscing. What other old words/phrases do i love and miss, which words/phrases evoke fond memories? Below is a little list, feel free to add, agree or disagree.
Scamp
Scalliwag
Rapscallion
You're a one
Tyke
Mummy's/Daddy's/Gran's/Grandpa's Little soldier

Tinker
Fossil

Having worked in a nursing home I can tell you a few sayings from my friend Jack (aged 96):
"My family motto is why be difficult when with a little bit of effort you can be bloody impossible."
After shaving: "SABB: smooth as a babys bottom"
On sitting down: "BDFU: Bum Down Feet Up"
