old fashioned words.

Not all at the same time I hope watermeadow ?

I still wear a frock, a pinny and a nightie. As a child I wore gum boots ad sand shoes.

Counterpane (meaning bedspread)

Bill Bryson in "Notes from a Small Island" recounts being told by his landlady not to put his feet on the counterpane. He had no idea what she was talking about.

Fellow, chap, bloke.

I won’t say ‘guy’ so I still use ‘bloke’, but I think it probably sounds old-fashioned. Don’t care ?

Yes that's right travels.
Also ta ta for now and mind how you go are similar.

(Happy and) gay... Bright and gay....the gay gordons (a country dance)
All the rage ( fashionable)
Charlies dead ( petticoat showing)

Notagran55 just as well!

'toodle pip' has sprung to mind, it is another way of saying goodbye i believe.

I haven't heard gastroenteritis for a while .

Snickersneeze

Oh yes lemon- 'tinker' - you've just taken me back to when my Granny called me that!

Tarradiddles, tomfoolery, rotter, bounder,good time girl,
Mrs Mop, cuppa ( only oldies say this)?
Frazzled, little tinker.

I also use codswallop!
Its a very useful expression

Another I use is " its a load if tripe"
Both very useful as saves a lot swearing!

'A wee bisom ' was often used by my mother when we were children.

Daisyanswerdo Blighter was a favourite of my late FiL.
As in 'you little blighters'
When his DGC had popped his fuscia buds or plaited the fringing on the settee

Jalima I think it’s just us! I never hear anyone use it these days, not even the shortened version - cods.

Just thought of another couple - tiresome and wearisome. Both used by my old headmistress to describe misbehaving boys!

She's a flippityjibbit, fly by night

I have to stop myself saying things like “jolly good”.

I remember Terry Wogan taking great delight in one of his listeners writing in to call him a ‘lickspittle’.

stair rods (as in raining like..)

blimey: I said it three times yesterday

Stepping out (same as courting).

I'm sure I can think of a few old words - some obvious, such as "half a crown", "suspender belt", "telephone exchange" or "horizontal hold" - and will come back later if I think of any more.

I've lived in Germany for so long now, that I have even been accused of using outdated German words, or words that my (younger) colleagues haven't even heard of. More than once I have asked a young shop assistant for something to be met with blank looks - such as "Kurzwaren" - the German for "haberdashery", or the beautiful word "Quaste" - a tassel.

Regarding "frock", however - I find it a rather ugly word and my father, who was in the ladies' clothing business, forbade us to use it. I'm not sure why, but I've kept to that all my life.

He also had an aversion to the word "stuff" for material, which I would never use, even now, despite the fact that the German word for "material/fabric" IS "Stoff".

We used to 'dig' 'pop' music that was 'cool' and those who didn't listen to the 'hit parade' on the 'wireless' were 'square'.

I still use words like 'marvellous', 'splendid', 'balderdash' and 'rapscallion'; I can also be 'somewhat' 'vexed' or 'cross' on occasion, especially if I'm dealing with a 'nincompoop' or a 'numskull' - words that my children are sure no-one else ever uses, but me!

I used the word lackadaisical recently, to be told by someone that she`d never heard the word before.

Disco..
