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

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.

Liberty bodice.. my mum used to sometimes whisper it to us, and we thought it was really rude, although we never knew what it meant.

We use many of these words as a matter of course including poppycock and balderdash. As a family we just love interesting words and the DGC seem to be following in our footsteps. I am so pleased that they don't use the word 'like' every other word as many younger people do, it is infuriatingly lazy when people do so and even worse when they use swear words.

Does anyone still have a scullery?

Slovenly- a big favourite of my father’s.

My dads favourites were ‘poppycock’ and ‘piffle’ amongst others

Has anyone mentioned ‘ghastly’ or ‘gosh’? My brother uses the former quite a lot, and I still use the latter, but I think both sound dated.

Lemon, I call my grand daughter (4) Madam sometimes. She thinks it's funny.
