@Nanabumble
I use Bobby dazzler quite a lot.

@JdotJ
My 23 Yr old granddaughter uses discombobulated quite a lot. I think she saw it somewhere and loved it.

Charming! - when someone says something a bit off.

Try saying the gas board or water board to your grown family, I was met with blank expressions.

No one says grotty anymore.

Just to digress and bring the tone down, do any of you think fuck will one day be on the list of words not I use any more? I really hope so as I’m totally bored by the constant use of it now.

My nanna used to say 'Fancy' and 'Go on' when being told a tasty bit of gossip. We used to say 'Far out' and 'Blimey O'Reilly '. Also, why do people say 'sloth' so it rhymes with moth nowadays, instead of rhyming with both? I know the answer, the wretched ever burgeoning US of A's language. Apparently David Attenborough provoked a storm of discussion online when he correctly pronounced it. It's an ongoing joke between my DG2 and me.

I don't understand half of what my grandsons say.

I got called goat last week. (It's good, apparently)

Kerfuffle got a puzzled look from grandson, Are they Courting, received much laughter from same, Know your onions was asked for a translation and Tom foolery well after that I gave up 🙄

Number ones and twos.

Cackhanded.

Cack is my word of the moment which is apparently 'cringe' 😆

Canalboatgranma

Whenever I hear two times on the TV I crossly say 'it's Twice', but I think that word has died out

Oh, this is the one that really gets to me..! If I see another caption announcing someone to be 'Two-time Olympic champion' I shall scream...😵

Forenoon - very genteel Scots.
Nithered- being cold,Yorkshire.
Blatherskite - chatterbox.

A woman of ill repute 😳

There was never a man of ill repute !!

No, but you could have a house of ill repute.

Would someone care to explain Norwich and China as anagrams? When I google them I get the city, terriers etc.

Saying something was 'gear' meaning great in the early/mid 1960s - popularised by the Beatles.

Shiver me timbers

Most. People seem to think it not sufficient and say "the bulk of", so ugly. Weather forecasters say "the bulk of the cloud" which seems to me a contradiction in terms.

Indeed....lol

Scallywag
Courting

My old dad used to exclaim ‘hell’s bell’s and buckets of blood’. And one exclamation I find myself using frequently is ‘oh my giddy aunt’, which my old mum used a lot.
I don’t think either have been in common use for a long time alongside ‘codswallop’ and ‘bonkers’.

By the lord Harry!

That's a brilliant word.
Who could possibly be offended by that.
