Let’s be Outdated Sayings

"Slay"

I’m “Yasssss, Kween!”

“Mother is everything!” or any other variations on “Mother!”

Far out

Gollee nez; far out; My stars; total blast; gross; slim pickens; boy howdy; rad; believe you me

“It’s giving…”

I’m the cat’s pajamas.

Gollee nez?? Never heard that one, r5

Groovy

"....they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Goodnight Nurse!

"___'s the BOMB!" or " ___'s BOMB!"

Mid. Based. I want these silly words to go away quickly.

Only because I’m old and I don’t know what they mean.

Totally rad!

Can I still say bomb.com, R12?

I'm "on fleek."

I'm "bye, Felicia."

outta sight

R10 is right, the white fight for equality is being overtaken by the black supremacy movement for “equity”.

Jardiance is really swell.

In my neck of the woods decades ago, a "bomb" referred to an old delapidated automobile.

23-skiddoo

Cool beans!

I feel seen

" In a New York minute."

The customer is always right.

"Like, totally."

I love my wife, but oh, you kid!

Totally bitchin’

Hey, good lookin’, what’s cookin’?

Chicken!, Wanna neck?

Groovy.

Far out.

I want to spoon under a June moon with my dapper Dan.

Let's bring back the feels.

I’m “quarantining”! Let’s social distance!

Space cadet

Gay men.

Homosexual.

(I’m not against these, but unfortunately they’ve become outdated and I’ve been effectively rendered invisible)

I approached some young negroes, extended my arm and said “slap me some skin, blood! Gimme five!” Then turned my palms downward and said “on the nickel side!” That’s all I remember, officers, until I came to.

Keep on truckin'r

Gag me with a spoon

“How are you doing?” An idiot from Friends ruined a perfectly good greeting.

“That’ll do, Pig.” What was once a compliment to unfortunate-looking coworkers for a job well done has been conscripted by bossy homosexuals involved in sexplay.

"Can you dig it?"

"What's your bag?"

"That's peachy-keen!"

"Like, gag me with a spoon."

"Excuse me, stewardess? I speak jive."

I'm gagged.

I’m boots the house down.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I’m “I’ll bet you dollars to donuts….”

Stunning and brave

A lot of keen responses!

You're welcome.

Excuse me.

Safe sex.

He's a solid sender!

Now you're cooking with gas!

R21 that would be a "beater".

Diss.

"Word!"

“I got so distracted I ripped the phone out of the wall”

For the love of Mike!

I really enjoyed that Broadway musical.

Isn't that dandy?

Wife-beater.

“A very queer thing happened to me last night?!”

Now you’re cooking on all burners 🔥

Be still! People will think you have San Vitus dance. And don't eat that, you'll get sugar die beet us!

It is what it is!

“just the tip, daddy”

Shady Pines, Ma.

Rachet.

That’s so gay!

Hot tranny mess

It’s just “tranny mess” now.

Ho-bag.

All that and a bag of chips

Kick him to the curb

Drop that zero and get with a hero

"You've got she-male"

I'm giving all of these the side-eye.

Let's make like a banana and split!

Make like peanut butter and spread yourself!

That was quite a yarn!

I have to go powder my nose.

I've got to go lay some cable.

I'm living my truth.

Heavens to Betsy

I asked a young man to put his John Hancock at the bottom, and he looked at me like I was the stranger-danger homosexual his parents warned him about.

Uncle Sam wants you

R93 omits that he shimmied up his caftan as he said that

For Pete's Sake

"Is that Miss or Mrs.?"

Hello sailor!

"Tell me [x] without telling me [x]."

Cool story bro, and anything regarding "Karen" is completely played out.

But, I think the term "Karen," not as part of a longer saying, is pretty well-established and ongoing.

"I'm free, white and 21"

"Say, that's mighty white of you."

"Crank the car up"

Super!

Paper or plastic?

You sound like a broken phonograph record.

Have they gone - ALL THE WAY yet?

“Oh, it was very grand!”

Spill it! It's your dime!

Read the riot act

Drop a dime = To snitch to the police (as in, to drop a dime into a payphone and call the cops)

Pissing on ice = To be extravagantly wealthy (as in, to be so rich you can afford to visit high-class saloons that put ice in the urinals to keep the pipes flushed)

None of your affair = None of your business

Speak no more of this folly = You've presented a stupid idea, and you should forget you ever introduced it

I don't chew my cabbage twice = I don't repeat myself (from the ancient Roman custom of chewing fresh cabbage as a hangover cure, which only worked once per cabbage)

Ham-and-Egger = An ordinary or dull person; someone of modest wage, appearance, and impression.

Don't sell me a dog = Don't lie to me. Also known as "Don't spit on my cupcake and call it frosting!"

Rebecca of Fucky-Brook Farm = A random person, as in "Who else would've shot my cousin? Rebecca of Fucky-Brook Farm?"

Trick or treat for Unicef!

Do you need anything at the A&P?

Here's a quarter -- call someone who cares.

In like Flynn!

I should have known you’d know where to find the boys and the booze 🥃.

What was your maiden name?

R140 you're drunk and posted in the wrong thread you bitch!

You think you’re big.

“Payphone.”

Full serve or self serve. Ethyl or regular. If this vans a rocking don't bother knockin. Ass gas or grass nobody rides for free. These are all sexual I didn't realize it at the time they were in use except for the van one of course.

Once I was at work and I had to do electrical stuff with a heart monitor. I had to zero it, which back then included lots of wires and fluid. Something wasn’t working properly and someone said to me “It’s been like that since the flood.”

I said, “What? There was a flood? When? Was maintenance here? Did they check it?”

I jumped back, afraid I’d electrocute myself.

The person thought I was insane. I’d never heard the expression “since the flood” before.

R194- The biblical flood

Saying "Story Time!" before telling a bland anecdote.

"I was today years old when I learned..." something obvious.
