My favorite antiquated phrase is...
...OH PARDON ME FOR LIVING!!!
Iain and I were talking about this omnipresent '80s phrase yesterday (his particular regionalism was "EXCUSE ME FOR BREATHING!") and laughing about how DRAMATIC it was and how no one ever uses it anymore. Except maybe sarcastically. But there was definitely a time in which young people (myself included) emoted this fierce bit of angsty hyperbole with profound sincerity, lol.
So what's your favorite phrase that's gone out of fashion?
