Five Old-Timey Slang Terms We Should Bring Back

Sick of trying to keep up with all the latest slang? Just use these words instead:  "Reader's Digest" did a list of old-timey slang terms we should bring back. Here are a few you might be able to use in your day-to-day . . .

1.  Gigglemug. Someone who smiles too much, or constantly has a grin on their face.  (So, the opposite of resting B-face.)

2.  Sauce-box. A term for your mouth. Like, "I'm sick of listening to you. Shut your sauce-box."

3.  Arf-arf-an-arf. An old British term for a drunk person. Like, "Don't give him another beer, he's already arf-arf-an-arf." The term comes from a drink called an "arf-an-arf" that's half beer, half ale.

4.  Pumblechook. Someone who's greedy and pompous. It's the name of a character in "Great Expectations" . . . Uncle Pumblechook. 

5.  Gas pipes. A term for someone's legs when their pants are too tight. "Look at that hipster with his stupid gas pipes."
