Let's reintegrate some words back into the language

[Lysander]

People don't use the word "golly" much as an explanation of surprise. This is because it's a daft word. However, if enough of us do it we might see it make a comeback, starting with today.

There is a slight danger that people will think we're idiots, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Any more words you'd like to see reused?

 

[Lysander]

Well I wouldn't like to see golly back...

It's coming at you with more fury than a truckload of premenstrual wasps. There's nothing you can do to stop the gollynaught.

 

[Lysander]

Well I coulda closed your thread

Well, there is that.

 

[Lysander]

Indubitably. Can we also bring back "squire" as a friendly greeting and "knave" as an insult; perhaps with the latter even prefixed with "foolish" for added weight?

Indeed. The reintegration of the Shakespearean "you egg" as an insult would also be most welcome. There can surely be no comeback from such harsh words.

do you bite your thumb at me sir?

Your brain is as dry as the remainder biscuit after a voyage.
