"Dowager." One runs the House and gave gold pens to all who favored removal by impeachment of Trump based on false witness. Another dowager in the House instructed her minions to stalk and harass President Trump's staff while he was doing all he could to Make America great again. It was horrifying to watch the dowager antics of hate and retribution of the press after their intention to undermine ethical journalism was clarified by their disregard for truth determined by fact. It was a sad day for the United States Constitution.

I was checking out cleveland.com last night and saw a word that struck me because I hadn't seen/heard it used in quite some time, 'berserk'.

Now concerning names of objects, with the wife I use this one from the theme of Gilligan's Island: 'motor car'.
Another I haven't heard in a while makes me wonder if police officers are still referred to as the 'fuzz'?
In winter my mom when we went out would wear her 'babushka'.
'Adding machine' and 'typewriter' have pretty much become obsolete.

Did you pilfer those words?

You could include words that were hijacked. Gay used to mean happy.

Yee-up. I'm not above using chicanery to purloin antiquated terms.
