Sayings no longer heard.

When I was a teenager, I had a friend who was very shy and introverted and didn't keep up with the latest fashions like the rest of us. Someone said to me one day 'why do you hang around with that wet lettuce'.

Even "it's the best thing since sliced bread" is "old hat now"

When people are being indecisive my brother-in-law says 'don't just stand there like a tit in a trance'

Listening to an Buddy Holly track the line "oops a daisy" registered as a saying rarely heard nowadays.

How you held me tight each and every night
Well, oops-a-daisy, how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter any more

I still say this today. My son gives me an odd look every time I say it. As if he's never heard it before.

Many a slip twixt cup and lip

You can wait till the cows come home -

Take the bull by the horns

If the cap fits, wear it.
