Flabbergasted, chuffed and gobsmacked are the words people would most like to see make a comeback, according to a poll.
Bamboozled, codswallop and kerfuffle are other nostalgic words which are now rarely or never used, the research found.
Only six per cent of the 2,000 polled said they regularly use the word 'balderdash'.
But 81 per cent think there are wonderful words that deserve to be returned to regular use.
Tesco Mobile, which commissioned the research, has partnered with Tom Daley and Gyles Brandreth to release the 'Essential Words of the Year' - a list celebrating the time-honoured words Brits most want to bring back into everyday conversations.
The launch supports the brand's Essentials pay-as-you-go tariff, designed to cut-through the fuss and give customers flexibility and control over their mobile bill.
Olympic diver and broadcaster Tom Daley, who notably reacted to Kate Garraway's use of flamboyant language on the Celebrity Traitors, said: While I am personally shook flabbergasted is set to make a comeback, there is real power when using new, or sometimes time-old phrases.
They're a great way make conversations more interesting, especially with so many of us communicating through texts or calls.
