Were those phrases still being used circa 1970-75? I ask because that's where I'll be until further notice.

IIRC, "Up with People" did a Super Bowl halftime show sometime in the early '70s.

The 1970s: when American football actually mattered to me. wink


I think those phrases faded from the vocabulary after ~1973.

"Up with People" did the halftime show for Super Bowl X (1976). They are still going strong, I think.

I also stopped caring about Pro Football after the 70s.

Is he all the ticket?

Something my mum used to say if someone was acting a bit odd. I do miss ticket, like in - ah, just the ticket (or that's the ticket) - if something's good.

Boner

Timmy tried in vain to hide his boner from Mrs Dale as she moved from desk to desk checking answers.

It means mistake, of course.

"Trashy"

As used to describe dumb, hokey movies and TV shows. Not necessarily a pejorative as there sometimes can be fun trash.

But maybe "trashy" is still being used as a descriptor and I haven't seen it - or maybe that most films and television these days are trash renders this useful word superfluous.

Chum

As in, "Looks like your chum over there could use a dollop of Daisy."

Whenever American soldiers in a ww2 movie spoke to passing British soldiers, the British soldier always made a remark and used "Chum" so it showed he was from a British unit. The Americans said Buddy.

I bought a CD (in a charity shop) of Viv Stanshall's, Sir Henry At Rawlinson End, & it's chock full of great phrases:

As English as Tuppence.

Frankly, once I've eaten a thing, I don't expect to see it again (not really a phrase, but I love it).

& one that made me laugh out loud last night...As silent as a smelly one.
