Old Words (25)
yubba: I put this under "Jokes & Humour" because i hope it will be that and as Serene asked to liven things up.
Some days ago i was takling to an old client in Portugal and he said a word that is not normally used these days, later l thought that there are so many words and sayings that we do not hear now.
My father suffered back problems and always said to my mother to warm the bottle of "Embrocation" by the fire to rub his back.
I suffered "Chilblains" as a kid and i have not heard of anyone having them for years, i remember the treatment was a tin of Grasshopper ointment that was a green cream.
Lastly, when people asked how others are they may say "I have been queer lately", i think not many admit to that now.
Bring out your old words and sayings and at least try to brighten Serene´s day.

Just spoke to my father on skype, he told me, "It is a beautiful autumnal day"
Most people would say "a lovely autumn day" I think "autumnal" is so much nicer lol.

Funny that you should bring up this topic Yubba
I was thinking only the other day that when I wasn't feeling well as a child, nothing serious, just maybe a stomach upset, headache or whatever, my mother would keep me home from school for the day and my note to teacher would read that I'd had a 'bilious attack' ------ This thread is Archived ------
