A new survey has found the top 30 phrases are disappearing.
Some of people's most beloved sayings could be dying out.
A new survey has found the top 30 phrases that are disappearing, as young people don't use or understand them.
Among the sayings are "dead as a doornail", "a nod is as good as a wink", and "don’t get your knickers in a twist".
71 per cent of people aged 18 to 50 never use "nail your colours to the mast", while two thirds don't know what "a stitch in time saves nine" means.
