Do y'all know who old outfit is, that was old saying I heard as a child.

Another one is "I carried someone to the store".

I like the old country sayings.

1. Please explain. nt

3. If you couldn't remember the name of someone you would call them Old Outfit.

Don't know why.

When I was little I thought that was someone's name.

4. We would always say "What's-his-name" or "What's-her-name"

"Old Outfit" sounds like a euphemism for the biblical Voldemort, like "Old Deuce" and "Beezelbub"

11. We said Whatsisface. Wonder if Old Outfit is a distortion of something.

And she had quite a few curse phrases in Italian...

7. Never heard "Old Outfit"

My father-in-law got forgetful near the end of his life and if he forgot someone's name he would call them "Good Man".

"Good to see ya, Good Man, How you been?"


I like the sound of Old Outfit though. Now I'm gonna look for an excuse to use it.

10. I still hear both those phrases every once in a while.

12. I knew a gal from Oklahoma who referred to her sister and others as "outfit".
