Panacea is one that I haven't heard in a while until tonight on a radio show. These days I hear all kinds of new words that I never heard before and wonder where in a heck did they get them from!
Words you haven't heard in a long time...?
- Thread starter Cranky
- Start date
Haven’t heard big league for a while.
Three times in one night?
Are you talking about when you had to replace your power steering pump three times?
"Remains".
As in human.
Have ya noticed when it's a person of good repute, that they are still talked about in the present tense?
Example: "President Regan is to be interred at Arlington."
Or loved.
"Michael Jackson is to be buried at Rose Lawn."
But if the person is considered evil it's just a thing.
A "body".
Example :
APR 15, 2021
(Of course I'm referring to The Media)

Why Did US Forces Bury Osama Bin Laden’s Body at Sea?
Political, religious and practical factors all played a role.(Of course I'm referring to The Media)

Fallow. As in fallow fields. This came up a few weeks ago because our son had never heard it before and asked if we knew what it meant. We 'splained it.
Also " Supercalifragilisticxpalidoshious."

Parsimonious. Applies to quite a few of us.

Panacea? Don’t think I’ve ever heard that word before…until now. Is that why you changed your name to “Mr. Cranky” recently? It’s your teacher name? Lol
A word we haven’t used in our house in at least ten years…”telephone”
I bet your arm was tired............
How about the word “plethora”? It means a lot to me.

Yammer.
Been a long time since doing anything in one night except for getting up to pee!
Don't recall ever hearing that one!
Been awhile...
Uh no
Been awhile since hearing that one too....and bet only the well educated knew it back then.
A buddy of mine used that one a lot. He even used it to describe what his engine was doing in his race car lol
