Re: outmoded expressions
Does anyone remember being called a 'nit'?
People also used to be called a 'twit' rather than replacing the 'i' with an 'a' nowadays.

Slang
I'd love to remember the things people were saying.
For example, In Nottingham, we used to call just about everything 'maccy', meaning brilliant, in the 80's because of the footballer 'Super Mac' MacDonald!
We used to call sweets 'goobs' although I don't know why.Comment
