He hasn't even edited it yet! Poor boy.

And I do agree, the words in this thread don't seem out of date to me. But then again that's just me.
Not just you, I don't doubt many other people would say that too.

I think you mean "Balderdash" Sir.

This huge error doesn't make you look silly at all.
Beat me to it good sir, well done.

OT: I daresay most of these words might be considered normal words to many people, especially Brits getting on in years. 'Verily' though, is definitely old-timey.
So!

I'faith, nuncle, verily thou art truly an atheling, and I kith you, thou art simply the finest man sith erst Man donned cloth.
Are you trying to type in French?

I'd have to say Dirigible (Probably spelled that wrong), I mean it's just so fun to say.

French?!
Sir, your knowledge of Old English is woefully inadequate, if indeed it exists at all!

I believe "yonder" to be the most practical old-timey word. As in, "Go get that cake from over yonder!" and, "The bandits came from over yonder, sheriff!".

I love yelling at those damn Yipper-snappers, Tell 'em what they are I say.
I believe the term is "whipper-snapper", could be wrong though.

Verily, and Scumthorpe.

Mmhmm.
Scumthorpe? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the word, when do you use it? Ihe closest I know of anything like that is Scunthorpe which is a town over here in England.

What a kenspeckle, ol' pilgarlic twaddlestick.

Okay, I admit, I've no idea what 'twaddlestick' means, but pilgarlic and kenspeckle are two words I know that I really am aware are 'archaic phrases'.

I don't really swear off the internet, so when something goes wrong/right, I typically use swell. My very favourite word.

"Ah, dude, they ran out of tickets."
"Aw, well that's just swell!" [/hands in pockets, kicks the ground, morphs into Bing Crosby]

No, it's Whipper-Snapers.

And Scumthorpe is a derogatory name for someone. Like Peasant, I think.

Also "ye olde" is a nice one from time to time.


You cannot simply stick "Ye Olde" in front of anything and expect it to sound like its from old English.

I've found my self yelling "bloody hell", "good lord" (in a particularly old timey voice) and "balderdash" a lot recently.
