I'm bringing spiffy back

[Spacelord]

I find all these returning old expressions just a right bunch of balderdash. Balderdash, I say!

 

[Insanum]

as long as we steer clear of the words "trendy, Hip & down" then im in.

Tonight we'll have a party like its 1899.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Bring these words back is spiffy. The idea of not doing so is pish posh. Absolute poppycock

 

[LeonLethality]

What's Poppycock? Never heard of it.

a flavourd popcorn chocolate hybrid thing at least I saw a wrapper of it o.o

Gah. Read what others wrote few hours ago...

didnt read far enough and theres no time for it gotta move fast I'm being trailed

 

[SevenStarSonata]

It makes me sad that spiffy needs to be brought back. I wasn't aware it was gone. D: Dude, I use it all the time, and variations thereof...spiffy, spiff, spifftastic...

"Cool beans", however, seriously needs to make a dramatic comeback. Srsly.

 

[Aqualung]

Kerfuffle. :] Use it. Better than clusterfuck, methinks.

 

[Torque669]

"Well... Isn't that Wizard"

+5 Rep to whoever knows where its from.

But do we want to? (Dramatic overtones here.)

I want more people to say "Indubitably".

I say that word all the time anyway. I want the word Shabby to be used more. I use it all the time to describe bad. Sounds much more describing than Bad.

 

[Apathetic Flamingo]

Spiffy, eh? I could get into that...

 

[Da Joz]

I will support your cause of bringing back spiffy if you help me spread the word fantabulous.

 

[TaborMallory]

My physics teacher uses that word a lot, as well as variants.

In the time I've spent in that class, I've heard:
-Spiff
-Spiffy
-Spiffola
-Spifftacular
-Spiffs
-Spiffer
-Spiffing
-Sporff(?)

Needless to say, I now hate the word in all its forms.

 

[THEMILKMAN]

We need to bring back "Fisticuffs"!

"Sir, you have dishonored me *slap with glove* I challenge you to fisticuffs!"

 

[SevenStarSonata]

Kerfuffle. :] Use it. Better than clusterfuck, methinks.

No, no...because kerfluffle is cutesy and girly and reminds me of something akin to a Tribble falling off a shelf onto the ground or something.

"Clusterfuck", on the other hand, is a great fricative that you can spit out when things have all gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I will support your cause of bringing back spiffy if you help me spread the word fantabulous.

Done and done.

 

[Fightgarr]

My middle name is Spiffterson and I approve this cause.
Other dying words I'd like to see brought back:
Catsenjammer (think that's the proper spelling): (1) The sound of multiple feral cats mewing; (2) A hangover.
Skirr: An onomatopoeia that is the sound of aerial creatures flapping their wings.
Fubsy: Short and stout.

 

[Blank Verse]

This thread is so gag-me-with-a-spoon-gnarly.

Like, ew, totally.

Totally.

.../dies inside

 

[Souplex]

Upon revisiting this thread I noticed that people seemed to think I was just referring to old-timey british words. I am referring to any fun word people don't use enough anymore.

 

[Shadowfaze]
