We sat on a davenport in my house.
Lunch was the mid-day meal and supper was the evening meal.
We put our food in the fridge.
We bought our food at the market and a bag boy would put them in paper sacks and put them in the cart.
Main Street was downtown, regardless of where you were.
POP was the name for any kind of soft drink.
We cooked on a stove, not a range.
Substitutes for swear words were gosh and golly and darn.
We warshed ourselves with warsh cloths.
We took a bath, not bathed.
We had a crick that ran through town.
It rained cats and dogs, and was hotter than the devil.
Pick-ups were simply trucks.
A road with rocks was a gravel road.
Every train had a caboose, also known as "the red car"
If we referred to an old person, they were "older than dirt"
or "came on the ark."
