Words you just don't hear that much any more

[WBennett]

Inspired by Lefty's 'the fun threads are not boring JDM related shite', what are words you heard as a kid that you just don't hear any more.

My cousin had two the other day.

He called his son a 'gronk', then happened to throw the word 'blurter' into his next sentence.

Who here is old enough to remember Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills?

And from the same era; Blacksmith. Most of the Indian Root advertising signs I remember, were on the side of the local Blackies Workshop/Barns.

[benno_r]

So by the sounds of a lot of the responses here, Alf is dead?

Haven't watched H&A for a loooong time.

A friend of mine is a Blacksmith and that's what he calls himself, and charges a motza for his work. Makes things like rural driveway gates out of wrought iron, can costs more than 50k. Apparently the scrap iron is really expensive

I didn't think it would be possible to go off-topic in this topic, but I was wrong. Let this be your final warning, until we use those words another 15 times. That applies to you, PeteyD, as well.

I use the phrase space cadet all the time. I live in the Greens capital of the world, and even the Greens are sensible compared to some of the old hippie (there's another word) types who write letters to the Byron Shire Echo advocating a return to pre-industrial lifestyles.

For those from Canberra, we had Booners and Westies. The difference between a booners summer outfit and winter outfit was the flannie was around the waist in summer.
