    "There wasn't enough room to swing a cat" or conversely "There was a hole in the wall big enough to throw a cat through".

    I was watching an old Youtube video the other day and heard a baseball umpire use the term "We're in the jackpot here". I remembered hearing the phrase before but didn't know what it meant until I looked it up.

    I haven't heard either phrase"That doesn't hold water" or "Hold your water" for longer than I can remember.

    Really like the adjustment band across the center of the back; gives it a half belt look.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    One phrase that I have not heard in the last 15 years or so is something needing "a woman's touch"; meaning needing the input of feminine style or taste. Most likely due to the blatant sexism that it implies in this day and age. Also, I don't hear "People will talk" or "Let 'em talk" referring...

    One that's fallen out of use is "Don't worry about him, that guy's got it knocked"; which I took to mean having it taken care of. I used to say it all of the time in my teens, but I just read it in a novel this week and it brought it back.
