XD is pretty rare as an emoticon now.

Also abbreviating you as u, to as 2, for as 4, etc. Probably because we have full keyboards and not numpads anymore.

When something was "dry" it meant it was bad. Never heard it again after I finished middle school.

"Bread and butter", said to your partner when they're about to split a pole while you're walking.

"The buffalo is off the nickel", similar to "the cheese has slid off his cracker", or, alternatively, depending on usage, a way of saying bullshit.

Both of these phrases were said by William Shatner in a Twilight Zone episode, and I've never, ever heard any of anyone using them.

“Bread and butter”, said to your partner when they’re about to split a pole while you’re walking.

What? I understood close to zero of the meaning of anything in this sentence.
