25 Forgotten English Words We Should Bring Back

This is it. This is your cue to bring back some old-timey words that perfectly describe a very specific situation. Like if you’re tired of saying the usual summer statement “Oh, it’s a very, very hot day today. Ew,” then you no longer have to say that. In place of such an expressive sentence, you can say something like “Oh, it’s swullocking today. Ew.” The second sentence means the same thing as the first sentence which is that the day is hot and boiling and icky. Ever experienced that kind of day? Because I have. And it was a very unpleasant experience.

“Swullocking” is just one of the many vintage words on this listicle that is hardly used. And the word has never lost neither its meaning nor its touch. Although, “swullocking” may sound a bit silly to a lot of ears who have never been exposed to the word before. That is okay. Usually, unheard words or interesting-sounding words have a funny effect on the listener. Want to know how many of these forgotten English words make you giggle like a giglet?
