I got 10
Started me thinking . . . Dangerous, I know, but . . .
How about some words, sayings Etc. that were used by your parents or grandparents, that are no longer in common use?
I'll start -
Gravit - Scarf
Doosk - Cap or bunnet
Any more?

I got 6, not bad as a third language.
Yorkshire being my first language, and I have a smattering of English too.
Seminole.
