The other day, I referred to a pair of earrings as "ear bobs." My grandbaby found this to be a strange description. She thinks it odd, also, that I often say "pocketbook" instead of "purse."
I started thinking, as she and I discussed these terms, of other words and phrases we don't hear or use any longer. Most of them, are vocabulary from time spent at my Grandma's house.
water cooler
ice milk
