Moo moos are still used today, especially in the South. Sometimes they are called house dresses.

Brassieres, bosoms, and unmentionables, lol.

I love the expression "unmentionables." lol, and it makes me laugh when someone calls breasts bosoms, but I'm not sure why.

And calling someone's derrière a keister, lmao. I love that one, too.

Goodnight, nurse.

Until the last dog is hung

It referred to staying at an event right up to the end~

Gemme · 07-13-2015, 05:52 AM

Oh, I don't like that one. It's like 'there's more than one way to skin a cat'. Or 'sweat like a pig' which is completely inaccurate anyway because pigs literally do not sweat....hence all the rolling in mud. Why do we have to bring innocent animals into our colorful speech? I wonder who started all that mess.
