Things you just do not hear anymore…

At a forum I drop in on, someone mentioned a phrase he had not heard in a long time, Book satchel.  I remember that,it is what we carried our school books in.

The word ‘Cool’ is about outdated. 

I still put our milk back in the ‘Ice Box’ at times.

Early in my childhood, we had a ‘Slop Bucket’ and a ‘Slop Jar’. Some of you had class, so you probably had a ‘Chamber’ vs the ‘slop jar’.

The Slop bucket was for table scraps and dishwater, for the hog. If you didn’t have a hog the neighbor did and would collect it almost daily.

The Slop Jar was taken out to the outhouse and the night’s deposits dumped. My mama unashamedly said they had a ‘pissery’ instead of an ‘out-house’, at their house, they were classy.

Car related? you  never hear Fluid drive, Dyna-flow, or hydromatic, and Carburetor is out, methinks.

Roll up the windows.

I know some folk still use ‘Lard’ ‘cause I saw some in a store awhile back.  ‘Knickers’, I never liked them. Me ’n Paula still say ‘Tennis Shoes’.

So What have I missed?

Thanks for coming by the log.

PS:

I read on a blog the other day: If everyone’s troubles were piled in separate piles on a big field, we would grab ours back when we saw everyone else’s problems.
