b, 21b, 21b, 21That's a good one. My old Scoutmaster used to say that. b, 21b, 21b, 21I occasionally say, "try not to get your pantyhose in a knot" or "in a bunch." I'm not sure how old school that is though.b, 21b, 21b, 21I also like and try to use "on the fritz" or "on the blink" but it doesn't come up that often.

Not sure if this is really old timey talk or not, but a good friend of mine always says "boppin'/bopped around" and "hunker down."b, 21b, 21Ex.b, 21"What did you do today, T**a?"b, 21"Oh, just bopped around 4th Ave checkin' out thrift stores."b, 21b, 21And...b, 21b, 21"So when are you gonna hunker down with a special lil' lady?"b, 21b, 21b, 21I love her lingo. Now that I think about, it sounds VERY old timey to me.

b, 21b, 21b, 21Man, this is my thread right here. b, 21b, 21I've used hunker down a bit, but in more of a "get focused" sense rather than the "settle down" sense. Like, "I got finals this week, time to hunker down and hit the books." Similar to "nose to the grindstone" if you will. b, 21b, 21"Boppin'" always makes me think of The Warriors. I guess you could consider that old-time. I've been trying to work the phrase, "Lookin' good, boppers!" into normal use but it's been difficult.

for some reason i said "i don't cotton to that" the other day when a friend mentioned something that i do not like. i'm not sure why that particular saying came up at the time, perhaps i was channeling my grandmother.
