Well, if we're talking that type of 'old-timey' word...

record - CD
tape deck - MP3 player
typewriter - computer

davenport- couch

Wow, its been a long time since I heard that word. My father used to say it.

How about:
parlor - living room
rec room - basement
oh good grief

 

[JPN4265]

How about these: Please and Thank you.

I use the word "swell" alot!!!

I also say "Oh fudge", "holy tamolies", and "have a cow " (dont' tell anyone about this one - it's the 80's in me that doesn't want to go away)

"Doesn't she think she's the bees knees"

My coworkers laugh at me everytime I say "Heavens to Betsy." I don't know where I picked it up but I say it all the time!

I like hoodlum, lolly-gag, and dilly-dally.

 

[NMAmy]

I say jeepers and jiminy all the time. Jiminy Christmas if I'm REALLY wound up.

When dd gets upset, she'll say "Dag-nab-it!" It cracks me up--she sounds like a little old man masquerading as a 15 yo girl. Or Yosemite Sam.

Probably very inappropriate for this board but I have been known to use the big cheese's name in vain. Have you ever heard the expression, "lets not Mickey Mouse around" or "don't Mickey Mouse around". Perhaps this is only my family's old-time expression?

 

[Brutie]

I say "for cryin' out loud" all the time. I didnt realize that was old timey...lol

My grandmother says "step ins" too and I use it too, picked it up from her. What about "come overs" instead of invitations?

I say tarnation, dilly dally, all kinds of stuff. Maybe I'm just an old timey kind of gal.
