connected: Old fashion words

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Does anyone use the word CLOBBER anymore? How about the phrase UP YOURS? What about HUSH?

OR; That's the cats meow, HARK.

I am just wondering.

Superwoman said...: I quite frequently tell my kids to "hush your mouth" sushi always cracks up and tells me I sound like a black woman from the south. I just think it sounds nicer than what I feel like saying. ;); February 4, 2009 at 5:46 PM
bubbles said...: Clobber has been replaced with "beat the **** out of". Up yours replaced by "**** you", hush by "shut up"... as you know.

I wish it wasn't so - but I am very, very guilty.

I actually liked my grandpa's version of clobber, "I'll smack you into next week".; February 4, 2009 at 6:50 PM

Just Dave said...: I like "hark" a lot. It's good for emphasizing, like in "Hark, methinks I heard a fart" in the middle of a boring meeting.; February 8, 2009 at 8:08 PM
