A new poll done in England looked at old sayings that are going extinct…

48% of people under 50 said they’d say “pardon my French.”  And 49% would never say “selling like hotcakes” either. 

Here are a few more old sayings that are going extinct.  Over half of people under 50 said they never use any of these…

1.  A flash in the pan

2.  Dead as a doornail

3.  Beating a dead horse

4.  Toe the line

5.  Drop someone a line

6.  Steal my thunder

7.  Be there, or be square

8.  Put a sock in it

9.  Cool as a cucumber

10.  Raining cats and dogs.
