We don't hear much about 'rogues' these days or a 'doxy' - or a 'spinster'

While eating my bran flakes at breakfast this morning I remembered my Mum used to say we all need our "roughage" - nowadays it's called fibre but it's still effective ?

reading the posts about cavorting reminded me of another old word you dont hear much these days, cleave aparently there are two meanings. One is to split, say a log with an axe, the other is to stick like glue.People used the words years ago to talk about husband and wife.Anyone else got an old word not used much??
