If you recognize those words in the subject line, then I know what generation you're from. Of course, I know those phrases are no longer used. Thankfully, my oldest daughter reads my manuscripts and helps me catch any errors and "old people" terms. LOL! I never realized some of the terms I used were considered out of date. For example, humdinger and hell bent for leather.
I also catch my heroine referring to the hero as a "young man." Sorry. No twenty-something year old woman would refer to a guy near her age or a bit older as "young" anything.
Anyway, it keeps me on my toes. (Hmmm, is that an old fashioned cliché?)
[Thankful Friday: That I'm going to see my dad this weekend. Can't wait.]
This was a groovy post!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's given me a list as long as my arm of words I'm not supposed to use, but they're all current slang - she doesn't want me to embarrass her in front of her friends by talking trendy.
ReplyDeleteTrisha, I remember when my little brother said that for the first time. I made fun of him. That's what older sisters are for you know. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh, Suzanne, that's so funny. The same but reverse. My youngest daughter rolls her eyes when I say, "Sweet!"
