Every generation has its own slang, but some words disappear so completely that they sound made up today. In this video, we’re looking at 20 once-popular slang words that are now completely forgotten. These are the funny, strange, dramatic, and oddly specific phrases people once used in everyday conversation before modern language pushed them aside. We’ll cover forgotten slang like wet sock, happy cabbage, pang-wangle, in the ketchup, flub the dub, pine overcoat, butter and egg man, zib, give someone the wind, bags o’ mystery, cop a mouse, don’t sell me a dog, door knocker, fly rink, gigglemug, nose bagger, take the egg, whooperups, rain napper, and moll buzzer. From Victorian insults and Jazz Age money slang to old courtship phrases, food jokes, travel terms, sports expressions, and underworld slang, this list shows how every era leaves behind words that once felt totally normal. Some of these phrases are hilarious. Some are surprisingly clever. And some make you wonder how they ever became popular in the first place.
