Yes, "cheesed off" is good. I like the way it indicates that you´re annoyed, but not annoyed enough to swear.

A word I feel sorry for is "fro", which has completely lost its independence and now only appears locked up in the expression "to and fro."

"Fro" has lived on as a name for a hairstyle though.

^ Like " a fro " ? Haha, yes, you´re right Janszoon.
We also still use it as a verb, every time we say "Fro the ball!"

Next word I feel sorry for is "unbeknownst". We use the root, "know" all the time, but "unbeknownst", loaded down with prefixes and suffixes, clanks along sounding as archaic as a suit of armour.

"Bazongas". Honestly, I think this one went out of steady rotation sometime in the early 90s.

You mean "gazongas"? Cause I've never heard "bazongas" in my life.

No I mean "bazongas". Clearly you were born too late and completely missed the bazonga boat.

The bazoonga boat would be a great Latin jazz group name.
