20 Phrases People Probably Will Never Say Again

I love talking to people of all ages because you can hear the generation gaps in everyday conversation. Just think how much technology has advanced in the past 40 years alone. There are some aspects of life before Facebook and cellphones that the younger generation can not conceptualize, thus some common phrases we once said are just as antiquated. Well, here’s a fun activity, try saying some of these common phrases from yesteryear to a teenager and spark up a conversation about the significance of some of these relics from our past.
