I am attempting a revolution to bring back the word "morphenominal".

I'm so serious on this.

There is also diner speak:

"Gimme an Adam and Eve on a raft, and wreck 'em!"

(that's two scrambled eggs on toast!"

If you don't wreck 'em, then they're poached and served on toast.


LOL! I going to order that for breakfast in the company cafe tomorrow just to see if the cool morning grill chef knows what to do. This, in lieu of my standard 2 eggs over easy, Texas toast and a sausage patty... I bet he knows what it is, 'cause I see him make them every day.

"You're welcome" should come back.

I rarely hear that any more, but it should return instead of its replacement in recent years, "no problem" which is a poor substitute.

Along with "Thank You!", "Yes, sir", "Yes, Ma'am", "No, sir" and No, Ma'am"!

Musically speaking:

"Give it some heat" or

"Put some heat under it"!

I was just about to say that. I love that expression...."swell". But it was getting old even in the days of the first SUPERMAN film. smile

I'd like sentences to being with "Say..." again. Like, "Say, have you tried that new cheese dip?" And I'd also like sentences to return to ending with "...see." Like, "I'll just take so much of that, see?"

I do that at the end of sentences with the word "here." As in, "We have all kinds of things goin' on here." Or "Let's turn on the television here." Garrison Keillor and Carl Kolchak say that a lot. Must be a midwestern thing.

I don't know if it was ever a real phrase or not, but because I grew up watching The Thing From Another World on VHS, I've been known to say "Holy cats" on occasion. big grin I was allowed to use it as a "swear" when I was little since it wasn't harsh like some of the other words out there. LOL!!

How about referring to recorded songs as "sides?" (As when singles came out on two-sided vinyl 45s.) "Hey, did you hear those new sides by Coldplay?"

I've heard musicians refer to CDs/albums as "records." As in, "Nirvana's first record was amazing."
