I love some of the “archaic” terms like L7 and hep.
Once walking into a movie theater, my friend bumped me turning around and spilled my popcorn and called him a clod.
I use “Damn and blast” all the time at my job. Around the house, Lady Lacha & myself have taken to saying “God’s wounds!”, “God’s Blood!” and “By Christ’s Teeth!” a lot.
Yes, we were recently watching an old program about Henry VIII. How did you know? 
I was wondering how you’d spell that. My mom says that still. And shee-mer-neez.
Wonder what oath he would have used if he’d heard about the heavy-metal band with that name!
Interesting. I never heard anyone say that one before the late 1980s.
“Up your nose with a rubber hose!” (What the hell did that mean anyway?)
“Pinhead!”
“Saw your wife at the dogshow!”
“Grody to the max!”
“Totally gnarley, dude!”
“Step off, George!” (as in Costanza)
Get a load a’ this palooka! Whatta maroon! Scram, or I’ll give ya the bum’s rush with a side a’ knuckle sandwich!
I’m working on bringing back “Right On!” from it’s grave in the 70s. Is that an interjection, or an affirmation?
Yes.
Cotton-pickin’, as in “Now wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute!”
Although I do have relatives that still use this.
Right on, my brother!
I was going to mention that. There’s a (Gahan Wilson?) cartoon of a hideous alien wearing an overcoat and a human mask. He’s saying to a tough guy, ‘Yes. I WOULD like a knuckle sandwich!’
Oh, L7! I had to explain to my husband what that meant. With appropriate hand gestures. He still :rolleyes:.
My branch manager uses “right on.”
You aren’t my branch manager, are you?
Far out!
I come from a family of freaks…we probably use 80% of what’s been posted so far in general conversation. My grandfather used “balderdash!” fairly often. We’re trying to keep that alive to honor his memory.
That’ll be “shiver ME timbers” to you, Matey, or it’s the cat o’ nine tails for sure! Arrrh!
I’ve been coming to the Pacific Northwest since 2001, and moved here in 2003. ‘Right on’ is a popular phrase up here. ISTM that in the '70s it was pronounced ‘Right oawnnnn!’ Up here it’s just ‘Right on’ with the emphasis on the ‘Right’. It seems to be used by 20-somethings and people who have kids in their teens and 20s, but I’ve noticed its usage dropping off a bit over the past couple of years.
Slubberdegullion appeared in a book I was reading last night, published in 1991.
[per 1913 Webster’s Dictionary: A mean, dirty wretch. ]
“Bird” as a euphemism for the male member is pretty much extinct now.
I think “honky” had lost its edge, as no one could figure out why they were supposed to be insulted by its use.
I got your back on that one. I use it all the time. My husband’s grandmother uses it so much it is like a verbal tic;
"It sure is hot out here, right on, but I am sure it will be much cooler indoors, right on, Imma have me some iced tea, right on, that’ll cool me right off, right on.
Missed the edit window, but wanted to add: Stuthehistoryguy, I know a guy who says honkey exactly like George Jefferson. Still sounds very edgy when he says it. As a matter of fact, after hearing ‘cracka’ almost as much as I hear ‘nigga’, *honky *is starting to sound the edgiest of all!
