Has anyone "caught their death" lately?

The new ones that bug me the most are "sick" and "ill." They probably bug me as much as "bad" and "raunchy" bothered my parents back in the day. Here are some of the ones I heard as a kid:

Awesome
Radical
Gag me with a barbie doll leg
As if
like
bad or badical
spiffy
okie dokie
my Grandma always said "for crying out loud!"
my dad use to say "aye aye aye!"
my mom use to call people she didn't like dip shit (that one still cracks me up)

Heck, a lot of these I would think are still current usage -- and I might pull them out for some particularly fraught occasions where the Navy pejoratives aren't filling the bill.

Trying to start a balky outboard motor with a pull cord: Come or bleed -- I ain't spittin' on you again!

"Oh Bother!" said Pooh right after hitting Reply All.

Bugger is a word I use a lot.

Gravdigr 02-08-2010 05:59 AM

Phrases not words, but:

"Is that dog obedient?"

"Hell, he'd stand on his head and gargle BB's if I told him to."

Probably a little outdated but still used from time to time\:

"She's as fit as a butcher's dog!" (can mean either physically fit, or 'fit' as in sexy)

"It's the dog's bollocks" (meaning it's the best)
