    In mediaeval London a hoody would have been called a tredkile, I like it as a word.

    The obvious defunct phrases we still use are
    "turn the telly over" from when there were just two channels,
    "pull the chain" when we generally push a button,
    "hang up a phone" when we just push a button again
  • As a kid when I use to come in from the garden filthy dirty my mum would say-Your black as newgates knocker .


    My wife says a saying she constantly hears when she accompanies me to the Valley is Piss Poor .
