Huh! Amazing!

That’s something we used to say as children to each other at school.

I’m now 40 amd don’t recall the last time I heard anyone say that.

Me too - 42 and can’t recall the last time I heard someone say that. Very interesting observation from GP.
Same and same - although I recall hearing it in 2019 and it felt like an outlier.
We only said that because it was cold war rhetoric, it came from 'free' relative to communist ones. Now the contrast is gone it's rendered meaningless.
Ah yeah right, I dunno if I’d made that connection before, seems obvious now.

Something else we used to say to each other at a school in the 90s was “BANG! - The Victorian Police Force”, if I recall correctly that was a running gag Full Frontal or Fast Forward did.
