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