DA Baracus Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'm sure there was a thread on this before but I couldn't find it*. Anyway there must be plenty of sayings that younger folk will no longer get. Take, for example, "He could turn on a sixpence". What the f**k is a 'sexpence'? younger folk will wonder. Even I don't know what it is other than an older coin. What other examples are there? *Couldn't be arsed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
