Re: Words we no longer use
Hark! - an exclamation my grandmother would say to us kids if we were making too much noise when she was trying to talk on the phone (the big black one with a rotary dial which was part of the party line when I was a kid). It basically meant, "QUIET!" in that context, although it was also used to get our attention. As in, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing".
