Nostalgia

I still say spunk. Or good sort.
Slang words or phrases like bugger off, lippie, servo, hold your horses and box seat are probably used most days. G'day and fair dinkum or Dinky-di sometimes.

Sayings or phrases I don't hear much anymore are:
- The bee's knees
- Bless your cotton socks
- Don't know you from a bar of soap
- Every man and his dog
- On your bike and
- Happy little vegemite
Though I've heard @Merlot and a few other forum members say a couple of them. Same as Buckley's Chance.

Notice terms like trackies/tracky daks, budgie smugglers, sanga, Macca's, barbie, brekkie, sucked in and chock a block are still commonly used. Strewth and Crikey I haven't heard since Steve Irwin....

Would love to hear any other old sayings and phrases.
