Forgotten words from Yesteryear

[Magicpole]

Me

Everybody in the press and media and people trying to sound above their station (and failing laughably) use the word “myself” in all the wrong places these days.

On R5 the other day: “So join Chris and myself as we review the day’s events ……”

How could you NOT use “me” there? How could you, as a trained journalist, possibly think that “myself” is the correct word?

Chris and I.

Pig’s arse and cabbage, if you were lucky!

You filthy bastard.

Isn't that "brunch" now?

If any of you has ever said, or even internally mused, about “going for brunch”, you are now dead to me.

I still use the term 10 bob bit for a 50p piece :)

Thr’upenny bit, anyone?

Chris and I.

No. It’s “Chris and me”

You wouldn’t say “Join I as we ….” you’d say “Join me as we ….”

If the sentence was “Chris and I went to the shops ….” Then obviously the I would be correct.

How’s a sweaty going to know ?

Thr’upenny bit, anyone?

That was rhyming slang, growing up in South Wales.
A fair pair of "Thr'uppenies" were lovely female bosoms (another term no longer used ?).
Anther money-related term that is longer used,
Tuppence - Fanny.
