Twiddling your thumbs. How many more outdated expressions can you come up with??
mohawk600 I remember that one and when heard it usually meant the equivalent of "nonsense" or "bovine excrement" but seeing your post I had to google for the fun of it and this is one of the "hits" I got: https://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-fid1.htm
I used that the other day, and the young man had no idea what it meant...or he just felt like continuing on with his long running, and exceptionally boring, story.
I have been "outdated" for a very long time. I saw on Facebook (my apologies) someone posted a picture of Red Skelton and were asking who he was. It took a few hours and about 20 wrong answers before he was properly identified!!!! 😮

My grandfather use to tell me: “You’ll never be forgotten by the girl you got for nothing” .
Way back in the day someone would ask you for a match to light a smoke......
Got a match?

WOW! When did this stuff become outdated, maybe I need to get out more.
