what old phrases do you still use? For example: light bill as opposed to electric bill, ice box as opposed to refrigerator, tin foil, ect?

Ford house, Chevy house etc. I still use that. I use more southern sayings than old phrases but I have a few. I say things like yonder, and reckon all the time.

Family is everything! Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

I still use the term "grade school" instead of elementary school.

Tape or videotape - meaning recording something. There will never be physical tape again.
Also film or filming something - same thing.
My dad always called a spade shovel a "sharpshooter", so that's what I called it also. I'm sure some people know that word for it, but I've never heard anyone else call it that.

Sharp shooter= drain spade
Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

MERCY - not receiving what you deserve GRACE - receiving what you don't deserve America's MESS = God's miracle fixes I'd rather walk with God with no questions answered than to walk thru life without Him and know the answers
