    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 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.

    Arsewipe, arsebag, dickwad, ferritface. Moll is one I haven't heard in while. As for old sayings "goodo".
    `Goodo' -- now that one I hear all the time too -- but that's from my Grandfather



    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.

    What about Mong?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    It's a waste of time learning manners if you're not going to use them anyway!

    I never hear of anyone buying a pair of "slacks" anymore...

    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

    re words

    benzine = meaning petrol
    wireless = radio
    grouse = can be used to describe a Hottie !
