What’s an old-fashioned word you think deserves a comeback?

Every generation seems to leave a few great words behind. Some are funny, some are oddly specific, and some are just more satisfying than their modern replacements.

What’s an old-fashioned or nearly forgotten word you’d love to hear people start using again?

Bonus points if you tell us what it means — and use it in a sentence. 👇

You have 30 minutes to yourself. Crossword or Word Search? No third option.

Phone is away.
Coffee is ready. ☕
Nobody needs anything from you for the next 30 minutes.

On the table are two books:

A fresh crossword
A fresh word search

You can only pick ONE.

Which one are you grabbing?

And crossword people, I want to hear why you're better than the word-search crowd.

Word-search people… defend yourselves. 😂
