Hi  What are som e old phrases?  Ok, I have some old phrases which are no longer used in the Spanish language.
\\"Qvo"  which is slang for "What's happening?"

"Ese"  which referred to a friend in one's youth growing up,  "Hey ese ....what's happening?"    Watch "Born inLa" and you will see what I mean!

And, what about this one.  "Talk to the hand!"

I was thinking about pay phones in the same way. How they just aren't a thing anymore!

Throw the words "cassette" and "Walkman" around and watch some blank expressions on faces.

My first "real" full-time job out of high school was as a switchboard operator. Who still knows what that is nowadays.

I loved it, but talk about an anachronism. No, not me. The job; okay?  :P
