Oh, I say. Jolly good show, what? Top hole.
Or anything else from the 20s.
Wag
And 'Take that you bounder, biff' lol
You never hear of riff-raff and n'er-do-wells having fisticuffs nowadays.
When things are in a bit of a "two and eight"
and you dont hear much of a kerfuffle unless you watch Lou and Andy
The use of the word 'instant' in letter ( or these days email ) writing when used to indicate the present month.
e.g. "Thank you for your letter of the 9th instant" I still use it myself sometimes.
I think it's rather quaint.
I love "henceforth" -- I think it's a great word
Don't see it nearly enough.
I have started using words like "crikey", "blimey", and "good grief", though I am sure they are no longer fashionable.
my dad use to say he was 'jiggered' if he was tired
snifter for a little alcoholic drink - as in 'fancy a snifter old bean'
and 'top hole' meaning good idea (i think)
Well fop and dandy do seem to fit the bill.
I mourn the loss of randy, particularly as horny seems to have dual meanings.
gadzouks is a good one too
