Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Due to tight data limits, I had to back out of watching the video before the page loaded, so I don't know what the words are. I've certainly seen a few that I thought deserved to be revived, but I can't remember any of them, and that may be a clue as to why they disappeared.

Another information source I can't afford to access. It occurs to me though that a good way to revive old words would be to get them into rap and pop - they need to be fed to the artists, and some of them are known for having a wide vocabulary.

Posted by David_CooperI've often seen these in English, but doubtless the rest of the world does them too.
