Anachronistic Sayings

Heard someone on the radio today refer to, "a woman of Middle Eastern descent..." I thought, "I haven't heard that expression in years". I'm hispanic and when I was a kid I was "...of Mexican descent". It got me thinking of other throw back terms and expressions.

I'm 52. Remember the saying, "Oh they HAD to get married"? Huh? To younger people today they'd ask what the hell THAT means?

Great cars were, "Aw man, that is so cherry" - Stupid, huh? But "amazing" is so articulate! Every friggin thing is "amazing".

I wondered if you guys remembered these and others. Regional ones are probably a hoot too. Let's hear what you've got! Make sure they're "amazing"
