I've written several articles about words that make me sound old. Here are new ones:
HUBBY for husband (I have never heard anyone my age or younger use this)
ICE BOX for refrigerator (a friend who is two years younger, just said it tonight)
Add those to the ongoing list:
OLEO
DAVENPORT
VEER
CHARLEY HORSE
REC ROOM
RUMPUS ROOM
FOUNDER
RECKON (as in "I reckon")
PIKE (instead of "route")
