What English words that you know of are no longer being used or have never been commonly used?
Refrigerator is the first one I can think off, fridge is so much better to say. |

I would say Rapscallion is quite common, but that's probably because I've watched Dr. House 3 times over |

the good old English word - gaol

Indeed - many of our words are becoming obsolete due to the spread of "American" language - particularly amongst the yoof innit |

"Sycophantic isn't used often enough either
I dunno, i find it's used most fervently in the forums"
The behaviour is, the word not so much. |

"Phlegm and diarrhoea
Much easier to spell spit and shits
Phlegm is different to spit though, isn't it?
bit thicker and yellowy but still spit it out
After a perve of your profile I'm bringing back the word juggs " you got me blushing |

"I would imagine rectum was an English word derived from Latin but above are surely pure Latin words, pater, mater etc
Rectum is a Latin word. Latin and Ancient Greek are the origin languages of anatomy and medicine."
Hurrah. |

When referring to a particularly handsome guy, my mum would always use the word 'Dishy'
Usually that would be Sean Connery
Also, and I'm not sure if this was just a northern thing but 'belm' was a lie |

"Forsooth. Pantaloon. Omnibus."
Omnibus is Latin.
'Whilst' isn't in use much. I sometimes use 'churlish'. |

"Has anyone said perambulator yet ?

I've heard of that word before, but I do agree it's not very common, lively or energetic is much more likely to be used. |
