OH my gosh! Our English language is full of 'yesteryear" expressions and words that are becoming extinct by the day. Example: Davenport (Couch), or Excuse me, I have FLUFFED (passed gas), "Mark my WORD", "Bless your pea pickin' heart" (meaning: You are so lower classed), "He/she is TOUCHED" (meaning: NOT quite right in the head), "You are Spastic! (meaning: not fully formed), "Look at those PICKANINNY's (poor SOUTHERN black children), "From your lips to God's ears" (meaning: GOD is listening to every word you just said), "It belongs to be! (meaning: RIGHTLY SO), and here's one my grandmother used to say "My, oh my, look at that fancy FROCK!" (meaning: a classy dress)
