I was a "late in life" child so I grew up with many older sayings:

Rouge - blush

Pocketbook - purse

Pocketbook - paperback book

Davenport - couch

Icebox - refridgerator

I thought of a couple more:

spectacles.....glasses
coffee pot......coffee maker

My dad always called galoshes "rubbers".  He was on the police force and every morning he would put his rubbers on to go to work!!!
