Words that date you

[BillB]

Here are some terms I use that I've noticed get blank stares from people under 30...

Bill Dukie - I asked for one at Home Depot. The kid didn't know what it was.
Slop Jar - Mom was throwing up in the hospital. I ran to the hall and asked the nurse for a slop jar. She didn't know what it was. How can a nurse not know that?
Doily - Huh? What's that?

Can you think of any?
