Words have always come in and out of fashion, but every now and then you see a forgotten word and wonder why it fell out of usage!
Today I stumbled across this list of 10 obsolete words that we should bring back into usage. I especially love cad, stinkard and braggart.
You can keep selfie and twerk, we need these words back please! We should start a campaign! Now stop the blatteroon, be a bawcock, and get this sorted before overmorrow.
I’m going to struggle to find a way of slipping “spanghew” into conversation.
Spanghew very much for that!
How about Donald Trump’s words spanghew from his mouth?
I actually have ran behind toads and made them spanghew a few times as a kid..
Thanks so much for this list! Blatteroon is going to be my new go to word to describe Donald Trump. Perfect!
my thoughts exactly
Love overmorrow… I’ve wondered if there was actually a word for day after tomorrow – now I know! Thanks for sharing this!
As a Dutch women I am used to overmorgen. So I’m very happy with overmorrow!
I know a few blatteroons..now I know the official term, even facebook does not recognize the word
I am such a word junkie!!! I love it!!! Still waiting for the perfect moment to throw out floccinaucinihilipilification… 😉 These are gonna be some great ones, too!!! Love this page!!!! 🙂
Overmorrow and Yestereen make perfect sense and I need to try and use them, if only to confuse people…fantastic words
We have blatteroon inhabiting the White House. I hear he does not drink but is potvaliant which makes that hard to believe. An aeolist that has convinced millions that he is fighting for the masses. I can only hope for a better overmorrow in my future and that of those who feel much despair with the blatteroon at the helm
Blatteroon—what a fabulous word!!
