It's one of those euphemisms that lasts beyond its meaning, like "it's raining cats and dogs." However, vinyl is still popular today.

Thinking bout it a bit, I do often say "Safe journey to you" instead of simply "Have a safe trip" and I often say "May the Fates smile upon you" instead of simply "Good luck." With how much I enjoyed the Spartacus series, I am surprised I did not pick up "By Jupiter's cock!"

I recall Jen and another friend have questioned my usage of "yer" in lieu of "you", "your", or "you are". Unfortunately it became such a habit that I cannot help but wonder if I have typed emails to clients with "yer".

No, because that's still commonly used.

People have been saying "cool" since the 1930s or 40s and it's not seen as being anything different. If something is in common use, it's not so much viewed as being "old" because it's still current.

It made a comeback in recent years but it had disappeared for a while.
