Saw this on Facebook yesterday and thought, Yep, I'm at least that old. Then I remembered when I referred to my cell phone as a telephone and Josie corrected me. "Meema, this (picking up a vintage rotary dial phone we gave her as a toy) is a telephone."
I still say typing instead of keyboarding.
What else? I have occasionally referred to the refrigerator as an ice box--not because I remember them but because my grandmother did and that's what she called the refrigerator.
My grandparents also called a bicycle a wheel, and a blouse a waist, but I never adopted those terms. Jeans were dungarees (which is a kinda cool word--though cool is probably old school now,) and, instead of a purse, my grandmother had a pocketbook. I may still occasionally use that term, though I rarely carry anything but a credit card wallet that fits in my pocket.
What about you--are there any outmoded words you still use?
(I'm tempted to go into a little rant about words such as truth, honesty, politeness, decency, all of which are endangered in some quarters. But I won't.)
