One word I used to hear my daughter say when she was going to Berklee in Boston;
WICKED HARD or WICKED COOL.
I thought that one went out with horse whip but I just heard Lawrence O'donnell use that term ( 'Last Word' on MSNBC), of course he is something like 60 years old so it stands to reason it would still be in his vocabulary.
@wolfgang59 saidChop-chop comes from Chinese. It's quickly going out of style, along with "pronto" and "on the double."
chop-chop (hurry up)
Have not heard this for yonks.
My dad used it all the time.
Actually I haven't heard "yonks" for yonks either.

@kewpie saidI still say have a nice day also enjoy the rest of your day depending the time of day I meet the person I have known for years. New people I will say very nice meeting you and have had a nice day.
have-a-nice-day
which itself replaced see-you-later
now it's enjoy-the-rest-of-your-day
ugh ...

@great-big-stees saidMoonbus has recently revealed himself as a 'dermatitis vegetarian.'
Here's another I like, though it hardly rolls off the tongue...curmudgeon.
Are these words going out of fashion or words that should never have been 'in' fashion?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThankfully it is not needed when talking in person goad! 😉
