Dated expressions in English

[oakdale160]

Some expressions gone out of style but others just loose their meaning as life has changed. Here are my 2 favorites, anybody else have any more.
"All dressed up in your Sunday best"
" I know him very well, we are on first name terms"

[Dannie Boy]

How about “as bent as a nine bob note” for starters while I think of more

Sounds like that "Pink Salt" has really pi$$ed you off DM....

That phrase also reminds me of "I'm going to knock you into next week"..

[dtaai-maai]

^^Fortunately I'm a pacifist*. Or should that be piss-artist? Put it this way, I don't turn green and you'd love me when I'm angry.

One phrase I remember from years back which does bring a smile to the face...

"Don't come running to me when you break your leg"...

[pharvey]

"That's my story and I'm sticking to it..."
