You Go Hop On The Ameche While I Down This Jorum Of Skee

This article is from the U.K., but the idea that there are words lost from the English language is fascinating. How DO words and phrases fall out of usage? You know what I mean -- people just spoke differently years ago. It's not just fad words like "23-skidoo" or "groovy." None of the words in this article will be familiar, but if you just think about how people spoke in, say, the 1930s (you can use movies as reference material), you'll get the idea. (BBC)
