Archaic figures of speech

Do you still 'roll down' your windows?, how about 'hanging up' the phone, no?

It turns out that we do not actually do the things that we use as figures of speech, interesting yes.

Imagine a few years down the line when twitter and facebook are long on, will we still say 'tweet that shit' or 'update status'

Hmmm

Yes, I do roll down my electric windows and do hang up my telephone which rests on a cradle ( I do have a proper hang up phone but it cannot be connected). Every day, several times a day, I 'spend a penny', a term which comes from the requirement to put a penny in the slot which allows one to open a public lavatory door. What you do once inside is up to you but you can guess what we all do several times a day. Other euphemisms for ********* are 'go for a leak' 'see a man about a dog' and 'empty my bladder'. I must go before I *** my *****.
