I know everyone knows "dial a phone number", but what other words or phrases are out of date?

Sitting here listening to the radio, I wonder if there are any real Radio DJ's left. I could even say using CDs constitutes being a DJ, but they don't even use those anymore.

There's a thread about the Louisiana Film Industry.

Does tha industry use any film at all?

"Responsibility".

Well, for 47% of the population anyway.

I'm going to "drop a dime on him". We used to say this all the time back in high school. Doesn't register in the popular culture so much today.

We usually talked about it in reference to a friend's girlfriend who was cheating on him or something to that effect. Referring to payphones costing a dime to use. Calling someone to give them some information that they were being two timed if you will. Dropping a dime on the cheating girlfriend.

There is still a pay phone at Ochsners in New Orleans on the first floor. That is the only one I know of.

Phone booth.

I see the occasional random pay phone but I never see phone booths anymore. I would like to try and get my son to use a pay phone to make a call. He is seventeen but I bet he would struggle making that call. He would not know what a dial tone is.

They have a place here that still sells it at a pump. Crap is over $4 a gallon.
