Conning the Con....

[GSPV]

I’m also getting calls where a young guy starts with “Grandpa, how are you?” That’s as far as he gets before I hang up. Maybe I’ll play with the next one?

That is a particularly ugly one that is attempting to target the elderly with dementia. There are a couple of different variations.

Now let's see...what other words are there that aren't used anymore.......

Heavens to Mergatroyd!
driving a Jalopy
Hunky Dory
included "Don't touch that dial,"
"Carbon copy,"
"You sound like a broken record"
"Hung out to dry."
Back in the olden days we had a lot of 'moxie.'
We'd put on our best 'bib and tucker'
straighten up and fly right'.
Heavens to Betsy!
Gee whillikers!
Jumping Jehoshaphat!
Holy moley!
'in like Flynn'
living the life of Riley
Not for all the tea in China!

Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the ducks ass or duck tail, spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes and pedal pushers...AND DON'T FORGET.... Saddle Stitched Pants.
I'll be 'a monkey's uncle!'
a 'fine kettle of fish'!
Long gone:
Pshaw,
The milkman did it.
Hey! It's your nickel.
Don't forget to pull the chain.
Knee high to a grasshopper.
Well, Fiddlesticks!
Going like sixty.
I'll see you in the funny papers.
Don't take any wooden nickels.
Wake up and smell the roses.
Carter's Little Liver Pills"

Like Grant took Richmond. Now replaced with like Schwarzkopf took Bagdad.
