Let's reintegrate some words back into the language

Some of my friends are very posh private schooled all their lives people. So I'm constantly surrounded with things like :

"Hello old chap.."
"Gosh *****, I haven't seen you in ages you old squire, how the bloody hell are you?"
"Sweet, pub at 1830, tally ho old fella"

Damn army types lol.

I have never heard anyone from a "posh private school" speak like that, unless it was in jest.

 

[Lysander]

do you bite your thumb at me sir?

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

 

[Rybo89]

never heard of the word,sounds gay and posh, must be some southerner thing

 

[Masterdog]

I like the excessive politeness of the 18th century. "I'm afraid you have the advantage of me" for 'what the hell are you talking about', or "I must take leave to doubt that, sir" for 'you're a lying turd'. Would make flamewars much more civil.

 

[Herojuana]

How about SPIFFING!


Nothing wrong with that word as an description of something that is just great!

I speak like that for a laugh.

I've been actively trying to bring the 'c' word into much more common useage for quite some time now. It does take people aback when used in some situations but after a while most people become desensitised to it....girls not so much....

Why am I reminded of the 'Porchmonkey' sequence from Clerks 2 here...

I wanted to post that when i read the OP

 

[Snakedoctor]

I think it is a jolly fine idea. I will ensure all my future posts use old language. Smashing.

toodle pip needs some love also.

"It's ok, I'm taking it back!"

 

[Jonny69]

it's well known that more intelligent people use longer expletives
and adding -er or -ing doesnt count

Sir, you are the ****iest **** what I have ever met. You are much ****er than what that other ****ing bloke over there is

 

[Jono]

Nincompoop isn't used nearly enough.

 

[NickK]

You're forgetting "Super" used in an over exuberant manner. Pronounced "Soup'er".

"Gosh, that's SUUUUUPPPPERRR! <add name here of the person you're talking to, usually called Alistair or Fredrick etc>."

 

[Rhys]

I say "crikey" far too much for my liking.

Super, smashing, great, look what you could have won.

*snort* and chortle are should replace "lol"

Perhaps we should make the forums replace lol with chortle rather than ***..

 

[Masterdog]

What about post-war favourite 'Cripes'? Nobody says cripes any more.

crumbs?

 

[bledd]

Indeed. The reintegration of the Shakespearean "you egg" as an insult would also be most welcome.

my buddy marv uses that all the time

and "you chicken period"
