    Well, I missed last week's but the word
    'hornswoggled' immediately came to mind, followed by 'flibbertigibbet."

    Those are so lost you couldn't find their ass with a ten man search party.

    My son asked me what an inkpot was...

    Galen, How have you been? I am so 'darn' stuck with my 'blimey' sort of work that refuses to let me go for some me time.

    some archaic cliches:

    It rained 'cats and dogs' yesterday.

    He likes 'taking the piss' of them.

    "Sit on it" was HUGE when I was in fifth grade...

    That's more a phrase than a word... "but who gives a shit"... ha ha I'm catching up from the previous prompt. :)

    All my dad ever bought was re-treads and every time we took a trip we ended up on the side of the road with a flat tire.

    Chesterfield
    Darned Socks
    House Dress

    Not that I have personal experience with these things, you understand....

    I'm glad some were lost...but I do remember my mom using the expression, "stinking like a pole-cat" (but I suspect we might be talking about entirely different pussies!) ;)

    How big can a bulls dick be? And do they tan it to leather before they beat someone with it?
