There are old figures of speech I wish were used more. Here are some. Tell us ones you'd like to hear more.

1. That kid's got moxy.
2. I like the cut of your gib.
3. Playing hooky
4. Galavanting around
5. Out for a jaunt
6. Curmudgeonly
 
Ya know, I've got a hankerin' to mosey on down to the ol' watering hole.
 
I still say "mosey." xD

Usually in crowded areas when I need to do what I picture "moseying" looks like. Sort of a quiet shuffle.

My dad will sometimes say, "Fine as frog's hair." But I'm glad that one went out of style. *shivers*
 
I used 'out for a jaunt' once while I was a Jr. High camp counselor during the summer.

One kid in my group thought I had made a drug reference. O.O
 
Why do I get the feeling Stilly is mocking my southernisms again :D These are only outdated in the NORTH y'all :)

Is it bad I use 2, 4, 5, and 6 regularly?
 
Godspeed...
Trippindicular...
Daddy-o...
Dame... (haha, that'll get me in trouble)
Pitching a fit...

Yo momma.. yo pappa.. yo greasy granny, got holes in her panties, got a big behind, like Frankenstein, that goes beep beep beep down Sesame Street.
Well, at least we used to say that sometimes in my family 0.0
 
Here's an old expression that I wish was used more. "Sweep your on back porch before you sweep someone else's."
