things you don't see anymore (part 328)

I was pondering (as is my wont) about how language changes and words evolve. Also about insults and old expressions (exciting life I lead), and it occurred to me that you never have anyone saying "Phwoor!" while doing the motion above (Ray Langton in Coronation Street, 1974, for all you youngsters out there).
I might start a one man campaign and try to bring it back. Wish me luck.

Good luck with your "one man" campaign. Do let us know how you're getting on.
