What are some favorite words that you have not heard spoken in years, but would like to? Will you please use them in a sentence?

Sorry to all that answered the original question. I did not get your answers. Please use your comments in sentence form to prevent this question from being considered as a poll. Sorry, I should have noted that before.
Recently, @MissAnthrope used the word “ramshackle” in a comment. I adore that word, but had completely forgotten about it. I’m sure to overuse it wildly in the coming weeks.

Have you any cherished words to share?

This isn’t about words that have changed definitions over the years. This isn’t about reviving Old English.

This is a search for words from your past that are not used very often in general conversation. Please share.

My Grandfather used to say “I’m a fixin’ ta”, “I reckon”, and “get shed of” all the time. Never hear them any more.
