Put The Phone Back On The Hook

 

When was the last time you heard that expression?

Our former pastor’s wife told us about getting a phone call one day on their land line in the living room .  When she had to go into the kitchen she told her little boy to go into the living room and put the phone back on the hook.  He came back a few minutes later with a puzzled look on his face and when she asked him what was wrong he said, “What’s a hook?”

Now we blog, tweet, email, chat on facebook, skype, and a whole host of other forms of communication with new names.

I wonder which one will be obsolete or “not cool” (as my grandchildren tell me quite often), by the end of this decade and what new words we will have to learn!
