There’s something fun about diversifying your vernacular with phrases from bygone eras. I am fully aware that sometimes I speak like a little boy from the 1950s. I feel like Ron Howard in Happy Days, primarily when I use the word «swell» or the phrase «gee whiz.» Nobody calls anything «swell» anymore, and that’s a shame. Many things are swell, and I don’t want to call something «great» when it’s not great, but rather, swell. 

Another old-timey phrase I enjoy saying is «kid sister.» I have a kid sister; she’s 21 years old, but by definition, a kid sister simply means a «younger sister.» When I tell people I have a kid sister, and I tell them how old she is, they have a cow! I do not appreciate it when my fellow coeds tell me how I should talk, especially when I am right! If you’re looking for some memes that’ll make you say «golly gee,» you need not go any further than this here webpage!
