Because they were excited about life. I use words like that too, just for fun.

Yes, they had many more words in vernacular (look it up!) usage in the "olden days" than we do now. Of course that was when a high school education actually prepared one for life in the real world.

Yes, even though it was marvelous, I doubt it was anything sensational. Isn't that wonderful?

And when we said 'We had a gay old time' it meant nothing like it does nowadays.
Incidentally, Cockney Londoners use several long words to enhance their language: words like 'diabolical' 'insurmountable'..........etc.

I still do, but only when I'm in a good mood. I'm not in a good mood, so tough luck, sonny.

Yes. They were euphemisms for "cool", "jiggy" and "off the hook".
