ITT we post expressions that are no longer (or are hardly ever) used, are regional, or just between friends.

This started because I used an expression -- they roll up the sidewalks....usually at night, but it means that the place is basically shut down for the night.

Cat's Pajamas - In the 1920s the word "cat" was used as a term to describe the unconventional flappers from the jazz era. This was combined with the word pyjamas (a relatively new women's fashion in the 1920s to form a phrase used to describe something that is the best at what it does, thus making it highly sought and desirable.
 
"I'll give it to you straight like a pear cider that's made from a hundred percent pear(s)." :D
 
I hope this one takes off..
I said to someone the other day, "I'll see you on the flip side"

I'm not sure how to translate that to digital music
 
I like groovy..
sayings like that aren't a dime a dozen, you know ;)
 
In the state that I live in my friends who grew up here would be talking about "sloughing" (not sure that's the right spelling) and I had NO CLUE.

It means ditching school! We just called it ditching when I was in high school and I'm pretty sure my mom called it "Playing hookey"

The generation before her called it work.

Its also the term used for snakes shedding skins, maybe the kids at school refer it to removing condoms:D

In the area I grew up in we did something called "skitching" -- 2) the act of being dragged from the rear bumper of a vehicle during winter months when there is a lot of snow present. Children do this by waiting at stop signs to grab onto unsuspecting cars while they stop and being dragged while sliding their feet on the snow.
 
Another one that is interesting is how people in different regions refer to the freeway/highway (that's another one :) ).

I was thinking about this today talking to Slinger about his Cali adventure...

I'm from California and we put "the" in front of the Freeway (and that's what we call it). So I-10 or I-5 would be "the 10" or "the 5" BUT the Pacific Coast Highway would never be THE PCH when you say it.

Where I live now, you never say it - so it's I-15 or I-5.


BTW BBB, this kind of thing FASCINATES me to no end. I'm a linguist (that's not dirty you pervs ;) ) at heart and love the evolution of language...

Damn - You're sounding like broken record.

I'll be back after I fetch a beer from the Ice-Box.
 
If it works out, everything will be side by each. Down east speak.

Make hay while the sun is shining.

Mind your tongue.

In Buffalo it's The Thruway or Da Truway. :D

It's Giggle's fault...and I, too, am/was a linguist. :rose:
