I think the "younger" generation may not know these, but honestly how many of you use them in front of your kids?
I use them all of the time without planning to - they just pop out when I'm talking. My sons know and use them. My DDILs didn't know them and one thought her husband (my 43 yr. old son) is crazy and uppity at times because we also use what DDIL calls BIG words. I just happen to hear a word and it is immediately absorbed into my daily mental word bank. My husband says "there you go using those BIG words, again.) My favorite college class was Linguistics that taught the origins of words and sayings.
