OT: Sayings from way back when

[blindbaby]

Yeah, but I think it had a different meaning that what you guys were using in BC

 

[blindbaby]

I must sayeth that I doth agree with thee, good sir.

It was awfully swell, I reckon.

I must sayeth that I doth agree with thee, good sir.

Invariably, thou always doth enlighten upon me a deep sense of a man who, despite the slings and arrows of his low and lily-livered profession and in counter to the ill humour one may come to expect from a man past the greying stage and into a more shiny one, has always enjoyed my peculiar and brain-diseased take on merriment in general.

Kids.

Hunky Dory: (circa 1971-....well, just 1971) "Boss came good with my money so everything is hunky dory now".

 

[blindbaby]

Burn-out: (circa 1975-82) "Those two burn-outs raided my dads whiskey and replaced what they drunk with water".

 

[BOSSMANPC]

gobbledygook (circa 1944) "Cut through the gobbledygook and just tell me what the final cost of the car would be".

Some 50s for you:

Giggle water was alcohol, jake and bees knees were cool, and hep to meant you were onto someone's shenanigans.

And now you know.

To Sly - (circa 2010-2012) On a messageboard, to make an unintentional (sometimes intentional) grammatical error. Usually to be corrected or spotted in the very next post and ending with a smiley face.

"cut a rug" - As in, I bet Boss cut a rug with some dames when he was a youngin'

cut a rug

To shave one's pubic hair (for girls)
Let's break it down...
Cut = cut
Rug = pubic hair surrounding the vagina
"To all the ladies who know how to cut a rug..." -Usher

I thought it was like carpet munching. :p

Also....

cut a rug

To dance really well and impress others.
The couple cut a rug at the dance, which earned them a prize.

 

[huskers1217]

Good breakdown, Boss - Let's watch Michael Keaton explain prostitution...

 

[BOSSMANPC]

are we still using FUBAR?

Ha, My wife said that too. I think we still use it or do we just say "fucked"?

 

[dash]

FUBAR is good, so is SNAFU (invented in WWII, by the way)
