Fun words you never hear any more


I was talking to a friend recently and we were saying that you never seem to hear the word smorgasbord any more around here. I know that although they are slightly different, it was used interchangeably with buffet, and then one day buffet just took over. I think it's a shame as smorg was a lot more fun to say.

What's a fun word you miss?

I feel like I’m the only one who still says shenanigans and high jinks but I am sort of nerdy…

And what about calling a guy ‘Buster’ as in ‘reach for that pistol Buster and I’ll slap you silly!’
C’mom, that’s some great toughguy dialogue right there.

I love shenanigans

A usual invite to a dinner party at my house will include the word shenanigans.

I have yet to be invited, I’ll bring wine and flowers, I’m a real classy guest. I’ll even wipe my shoes!

I was going for the full lips and assholes treatment for you. Isn't bbq too grown up??? Maybe some ketchup??


Hahaha.

I'm only kidding. I'm sure I could whip up some chicken fingers.

Everything that walks, swims, flies or grows out of the ground is on the menu.

Just no Sushi, I tried it a half dozen times and yuck!
I give up on Sushi.

Excellent. I won't boil you a walmart hot dog.

I will eat anything, literally.

In most parts of Canada we don't wear shoes in the house.

reply

That’s a good practice, those snowshoes can really scuff the floors😉

reply

As funny as that is, I would bet most Canadians have never worn actual snow shoes.

I do however have ice spikes on the bottom of my boots.

reply

I’ve used snowshoes, they are exhausting.

My wife and I followed a White-tailed Deer tribe on snowshoes in the Catskill Mountains. They are fast creatures, we never did catch up to them. It was likely all does, the females don’t leave scrapes and are quick to move on.

reply

I haven't done it in years as it is exhausting, and physically, I just can't anymore. I find cross country skiing to be less taxing.

reply

Chicanery is good too.

reply

Oh, I forgot that one. That’s a good one!

reply

I frequently use the word shenanigans.

reply

Groovy.

reply

Whippersnappers

reply

I quite like "ding-a-ling" and "ding-dong". Also I love saying" far out!"

reply

"Puss" in reference to someone's mouth. "Why, I oughta slap ya right in the puss!"

reply

Huh. I always thought it meant face.

reply

I just looked. Apparently it can mean either. I always heard it in reference to mouth. I think it's hilarious!

reply

Cool!

reply

Spiffy

Not the turtle, but loggerheads

It’s just funny to me because of this scene…
