Chatting to mum on the phone last night and she called me a "nincumpoop" because of me putting a knife throught my hand while stabbing holes into an ice cream container.

Kinda made me think. What other words do you know that used to be well used and have now faded into oblivion. SARGE recently brought back "douchebag" as well.

The words don't have to be insults or jibes, but what others were "cool" back in the day

I still use that one.

I think a lot of the words that are re surfacing, are being used in a deifferent context, and often more specific. The "trollop", for example, is what I now call one of the silly young girls, who try to make them selves look older and sexy by hangin it all out. By young I mean 14ish. Where my understanding is it used to be reference to any woman with easy virtue. They are now just skanky, or maybe sl#@s, (I cant say that word, it dont sit right with me).

Anyhoo, just my two cents:yes:

I always spelt it "mole", but that it has been a while since I used or heard it. Goodo is till about in general use tho. Dickwad however I think should stay dead, it makes no sense. Knob jokey has dissapeared into obscurity, and that one is farkin funny.

I know it may be a little off topic but we are speaking of words we use. My son when he was young had heard all about homies. Came home from school and informed us that he was a homo. Poor little bugger.

When his mates were around once, they were about 15, I explained to them what buggered actually meant. They were mortified.

How about, "diddle lee squat" ?

Other favourites from youth that seem to not be heard frequently are
hunky dory, bullpaki, choice! Lots more but I'm having a brain freeze moment so will get back to you if any of brilliance are remembered.

I think some things should stay in the past, some names of yester year are definitely a bit uncool/embarrasing to have now days. Fanny, Doris, Gertrude ...

I still hear nincompoop quite frequently; the girlfriend is not a native, so she uses all kinds of slightly curious words from time to time. And, I am a nincompoop, it must be said.

`Goodo' -- now that one I hear all the time too -- but that's from my Grandfather :sunny:



I'm younger than most of you lot, but a word my mates and I used to use an awful lot was `munted'. Kind of faded away. `Smacktard' resurfaced briefly due to internet culture, but has kind of died away again. I still use it from time to time because it's just so satisfying.

Also anything they don't like is gay, gay being an offensive term

Generally, when you say something brilliantly clever and offensive towards an idiot (aka a cool kid at school), they reply "yeah... well... you're gay" and all their idiot friends (aka the popular kids) laugh like drones thinking their mate just won this battle. Bit like the old "takes one to know one" phrase

Evolutionary linguistics, very interesting subject. As fast as languages evolve they retain some phonetic elements for thousands of years. In some cases linguistic research can identify cultural links that even genetics can’t trace.

Few off the top of my head:

Grouse

Mollycoddle
Dog’s breakfast
Hairy (still in use?)
Moniker
Yonks
Snarky
Crib

Any more?

I was asked the other day if I was a Bogan as a teenager, I said more of a hoad really. - Guess where I spent my teen age years!!

Benzine is the stuff my Poppa ran his car on. He'd fill it at the Bauzer station (not sure of that spelling mind you).

What about "Doozy" and "Foonunga" meant something was "Crash Hot"
"Hua" implied that your parents were not married (which of course make you a coarse file).
"Sweet" meant dang, that's gonna hurt (or "Smart")

Mental Mint / Electric Puha / Chinese Parsley

A "Geeza"I worked with "Yonks" ago came out with "Use-to-could" for something he could once do but not anymore, as in "I Us-to-could run a marathon"

Mr KD, by "Snag" you are refering to "Tube Steak" not Sensitive New Age Guy?
