#TRENDING 2/01/22: Sayings That Are Going Extinct

"Pardon My French," "Sell Like Hot Cakes," and Ten More Sayings That Are Going Extinct

 

If you say "pardon my French" to a young person, they might ACTUALLY think you speak French. A new poll done in England looked at old sayings that are going extinct. And that's one of them.

  

48% of people under 50 said they'd say "pardon my French." And 49% would never say "selling like hot cakes" either. Here are a few more old sayings that are going extinct. Over half of people under 50 said they never use any of these . . .

  

1. A flash in the pan

 2. Dead as a doornail

 3. Beating a dead horse

 4. Toe the line

 5. Drop someone a line

 6. Steal my thunder

 7. Be there, or be square

 8. Put a sock in it

 9. Cool as a cucumber

 10. Raining cats and dogs.
