      Words you don't hear any more...

      I can think of some:
      Dungarees, chifarobe, divan, davenport, rip-snorter....
      Can you add to it?

      From the South: "hoopla"

      As in, "Y'all stop all that hoopla and git in the station wagon."

      Probably etymologically related to "hootenanny" and it's contraction "hoot," which lived its best days in the early 60s folk revival of candy-striped shirts, string ties, and "Sweet Betsy from Pike."

      Briefly but gloriously revised by The Replacements in the mid-80s.
