I came across this and had a few chuckles .... I remember my grandfather used a couple of these from time to time.

These are good.  Judge Judy uses "kerfuffle" a lot.  And I use "discombobulated" from time to time.

Forget my grandfather.  I frequently use several of those words.  Persnickety and skedaddle in particular.

I was ablsolutely gobsmacked by some of these whatchamacallits and we should skedaddle with our shenanigans

[beckyb1012]

Some of them I do use but not in the same sentence.  I have always loved the word gobsmacked.

This is a great post and yes, I'm chuckling a lot... all these words are part of my vocabulary. The only one I'm missing is 'dadgummit'. I'm known to use it often but some family members say I shouldn't because it's a substitute for a cussing phrase?!? I got from my grandpa.

I am flabbergasted to think that so many nincompoops don't incorporate most of these words into daily conversations instead of the malarkey that a lot of them spout daily.

I still use a lot of these! Great words that can just describe what you are trying to say in one wonderful word! Or when you can't remember the right word for something these will always do!

I mean for example- doohickey-so good. My grandkids laugh everytime I use it.

[Sakuya]

I use these words.

I have used most of those words, not often tho.
