Apologies if there is already a topic buried deep somewhere... Just thinking of a bit of fun!

So I was reflecting on words that we used to hear as kids but very rarely or never hear now. The sort of words that your grandparents or parents used to use!

I'll start off with "Scallywag"

Which was a word to describe a mischievously naughty kid, like in; "you scallywag!" often used by my grandmother when we were being cheeky!

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, Katy, but I'll say:

Payphone

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
