Words that have died out/are dying out... 09:50 - Feb 16 with 25468 viewsSitfcB

Inspired by Lucan using the word 'pictures' for the cinema, what other words have died out, or are on their way out?

I do enjoy the 'old' words.

"promotion"
"play offs"

I'd say more like 'objective' to be honest.

"afters" for dessert although that may be a class/regional thing.

I still use "pictures". The kids look at me like I'm mad...more so than usual.

I've noticed the word "Twice" has been spoken much less in recent years, instead (and infuriatingly) they say "Two Times" which makes them sound like a cave dwelling moron.

The word Thrice has always been underused in my opinion.

That's correct though. Season 7 of the series Game of Thrones.

'Train station' instead of 'railway station'


'on time ' has died out in favour of 'within 10 minutes of the scheduled time at an undetermined point somewhere outside of the station'

Although the interesting thing there, is how wireless has re-emerged into the popular lexicon through wireless networks.

I still suggest videoing stuff we want to watch later. My kids are similarly bemused/amused.

I still use 'fewer' correctly, but do realise that it really doesn't matter.

I find it hard to believe that there are grown ups with their own children that will never have called anyone a Joey as an insult, although in hindsight that's probably a good thing.
