[News] Old fashioned words you use

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Outwith (although this is because of working with so many Scots folk now. I don't say outside anymore)

I hadn't come across this until I started working with some Scottish people a few months ago.

I was checking a report and had to look it up to make sure it's actually a word (which it is, obviously).

Entirely separately, I think "without" as in "within and without" should get an airing more often.

Centre Half is available as a drop-back tactical preset for CDMs in the latest "FIFA" game (EA FC 25)

I think I've just had a sudden insight into how my Grandmother felt when I tried to explain how to programme the video recorder to her.

Twitten.

Also great for confusing DFLs.

Proper Sussex word, there are some in Lewes with road signs saying Twitten.

You don't actually do you?

I've always loved ' procrastination '. Bizarrely the origin is an old bastard of a physics teacher who banged on about " procrastination being the thief of time ".

Andrea Orlandi was your physics teacher?

Outwith is a very old word. King James Bible old.

On another football note I have used the term 'inside right' to my son to a look of utter bewilderment.

I suspect smoking fags is quite old fashioned.

And I definitely 'tape' programmes on the Virgin TiVo.

I use words like calm, crep, drip, lowkey and based because I am young and also very cool and not old.

If your crep is drip you lowkey need to cook it for a bit longer.

Try talking about a Flange in front of the younger generation and watch the reaction

My mates were using it for that other modern meaning you're referring to 40+ years ago.

Word, fam.


Anyway I called the remote the CHANNEL CHANGER the other day and got grief for it. I guess that's my contribution to the thread.

Rewind for going back on a film. Netflix really isn't rewinding a tape back onto a spool is it?
