What phrases were popular when you were young, that you never hear any more? Even include ones you heard out of a parent or grandparent, which has long since gone by the wayside.

My grandmother would say "uff da!" and now I can't help wondering if people still say that in Norway. From wiki:

Uff da is often used in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest as a term for sensory overload. It can be used as an expression of surprise, astonishment, exhaustion, relief and sometimes dismay. For many, Uff da is an all-purpose expression with a variety of nuances, and covering a variety of situations. The expression has lost its original connotation, and it is increasingly difficult to specify what it means now in America. Within Scandinavian-American culture, Uff da frequently translates into: I am overwhelmed.
