Couth: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us.../english/couth

I have not heard this word in years and I woke up this morning thinking about this word.

Any of you members hear it? Use it? Live it?

Back in the "ole" dinosaur days, we used couth and uncouth a lot.

No one here has a word or more that they use to describe something...

I woke up thinking about the word cantankerous and the older I've gotten the more I am feeling this, never did in my life but now I don't have to answer to any boss or anyone for that matter. Just to myself and how it makes me feel.

I've heard the word "uncouth" used a time or two.

Just heard a word from a favorite radio guy that I had not heard in mega years, and mom used to use it a lot when I was growing up: Conniption Fit.

Means: Anger or panic expressed verbally loudly and with overt bodily gestures. Says the history of it comes from SouthEast.
