"Old fashioned" expressions that young people have never heard.

I don't think I've heard it with the "I" in front.
- just "beg pardon".

I deliberately use old expressions with my dgc sometimes. It is worth it to see their bemused looks, but I see it as educational too.

I was quite amused at the checkout in our local supermarket by the reaction of the young checkout cashier, when -not quite hearing what she said - I said "I beg pardon".
She truly didn't know what I meant.
Is this a local (Cumbrian) expression? It means 'what did you say' or 'pardon', or 'what', or 'eh?'.
Is it country-wide?
Do you use old fashioned speech? If so - what?

Definitely not a local expression. I am from a different region and still might use it occasionally.
(Though I am a northerner -a Yorkshire girl originally)

These youngsters know nothing 😂

Trying to explain to my 13 year GD the bright red nail varnish I fancied I called it floosie (sp?) red. Not very pc I suppose!

I just told my friend her elbow needed some cream on it, as it is "black as Newgits knocker"
