You're probably showing your age if you use these 13 words and phrases, which are at risk of dying out

But language is an ever-evolving thing and as new words and sayings are born, others inevitably fall out of fashion.

We’ve put together a list of words and phrases you don’t hear as often as you once did - some of which are at risk of dying out.

They may be the victims of developing technology and changing lifestyles, or perhaps they’ve been superseded by their US equivalents.

There are some fantastically colourful turns of phrase among them, which it would be a shame if we lost for good.

But if you find yourself uttering any of these words and sayings on a regular basis then you’re probably showing your age.

How many of these do you use, are there any you don’t recognise, and what other sayings do you not hear as often today as you once did?
