Old fashioned slang
 

Lately I've gotten into a terrible habit of using Famous Five-esque slang

For example I walk into my local shop drop something and go;
Oh Gosh! ....a lot of stares....then I see that they are selling kinder hippos so I go; golly!

Which equals a lot more stares understandably enough :pinch: as we're quite rough around here in my part of liverpool....

This started out as a joke but now I can't stop using old fashioned slang
anybody else have this strange problem?

I truely do think it's going to get me beat up one day :crazy:

That's not old fashioned, that's just posh.

"Wowzer" is old fashioned playground slang.
I say golly from time to time, but apparently I talk poshly. Apparently.

Dicky!

I'm always saying 'Oh gosh'
and 'golly'.

I think it's cool to talk like that.

I'll tellya whats posh (and makes me laugh)
when posh people say; yar, I love it!
(and thats not yar in the german sense, although isn't the queen german?
getting past the point here.....)

I say gosh alot aha :) people find it funny

Keep it up. Maybe it'll catch on and you'll single-handedly solve Britain's swearing problem.

haha I use "gosh" "oh my days"..."top stuff" erm...loads of stuff...and I get laughed at for it :P

gooood idea ;-)
I actually dont swear as much as i used to haha :P

Fiddlesticks! Now there's a one!

I used that one once. But I was in the middle of a classroom of children and had stubbed my toe.
No prizes for guessing what F word I really wanted to use. I don't even think the 4 year olds were fooled.

I never swear...Welll VERY rarely, not because I make a conscious effort not to but swear words just aren't the first things that come to mind when annoyed or whatever.

I say yar a lot and gosh and golly.
Famous Five were cool but so were Secret Seven, people forget about them.

I read all the Secret Seven books! [all Enid Blyton books, pretty much.]

"Oh my word!" is one, and a phrase my flatmates' toddler has caught onto!

I use some old fashioned slang words, and even take it further and use all sorts of old and even archaic terms for things. I like them more than some modern words, it feels like you got jewels in your mouth or something.

ha not surprised you got funny looks around liverpool.
hehe

PSYCHE!

That's old school man.

firetruck...
sugarhoneyicedtea...
china (a mate of mine uses this and i finally asked him why he called people that... apparently its english slang for mate... mate=china plate=china... i still don't get it though)
those are all i can think of at the moment...

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness gracious me, oh my gosh...... Um, Sugar etc, etc. x

Oh my days..

"Flip" is the way to go (Y)
