An old irish saying that is still often used today but is a two parter and not just one like in the old country. "Top of the day to you". Response. "And the rest of the day to you Ma'am/Sir." Another like that is the expression often refering to athletics. "He/She can stop on a dime." used to be "He/She can stop on a dime and ask for change." +5pts. =)

Criminey! I can't think of any. But jeepers, what a swell question. I did find this in some Internet forum, which cracked me up: "Read some of those Victorian dirty books - they're hilarious for antiquated expressions. 'Mr Priapus was at full attention as I advanced on her quivering alabaster buttocks. With one swift thrust, I breached the gates of her maidenly castle causing her to cry out with delight' and such." Imagine if people talked that way now, lol

"High as a kite" and "stoned out of your tree" My Dad used to use these ones a lot on me when I was a teenager. I like using the reply "peachy" when people ask me how I'm doing. A lot of people in my age group and younger have no idea what I'm talking about when i say it...but that makes it much more fun using the term.
