FORGOTTEN WORDS

I read an article a few weeks ago that brought back memories. Memories of my grandparents, my parents and myself. Words. Phrases. Long ago "lingo" likely never to return. Some words/phrases I'd spoken, some I recall hearing from my parents. All were interesting and I felt compelled to write them down. They bring back memories, and yet the words themselves will most likely, sadly, be forever a thing of the past.

Do you remember??

Peachy-keen
Terrif
Hunky-dory
Far-out
The Cat's Meow
Groovy
It's your nickel
Heavens to Betsy
Nifty
Copacetic
Jumpin' Jehoshaphat
My stars and garters

How about...

The milkman did it
Bigger than a breadbox
Knee-high to a grasshopper
You look like the wreck of the hesperus
Don't take any wooden nickles

OR.....

Rumble seats
Iceboxes and Frigidaires
Victrolas and h-fi's
Fountain pens and inkwells
Party lines
Test patterns
Slide rules
Manual typewriters
Corrasable Bond
Photostats and mimeographs

Nifty words, Ducky they were.
