I have been working on my kitchen, and every time I am in a home improvement store and say the word "linoleum" nobody knows what I am talking about. Of course, it's called "sheet vinyl" now. But I will continue to say linoleum for the rest of my life. Because, I'm at that age where I am done updating my vocabulary on trivial things.
So I thought I'd make a thread about extinct words. It can even be local things. Like the gas station near my old house will forever be "SuperAmerica" to me, because that's what it was when I went there. It's changed names a million times since, but my wife and I will call it "SuperAmerica" till we croak.
What about you? What are your belligerently permanent words?
