My Answer Is “Hold Your Horses”. Lol.

Whoa, Nellie.

I don't care about old expression that you don't hear anymore. But I bet there are a bunch,

Are words and phrases that we still use that have lost their original sense...
Dialing a number ... There haved been dials on phones for decades.
Filming, or getting/taking footage. It's all electrons now.

I am sad to report this expression is alive and well in Wisconsin.
although we sort of still DO use it, since the cc: on an email or letter comes from 'Carbon Copy".
Makes me feel really old. When I started practicing law everything was typed on an IBM Selectric with carbon paper. And secretaries got pissed when we made edits/changes.
I still remember how happy I was to get my first electric typewriter after years of using a manual typewriter where you had to actually "hit" the keys when you typed if you wanted to be sure that you didn't have a bunch of missing letters in each sentence. lol
And you were really special if you had an IBM Selectric.
I'll bet lots of people don't even know what it used to mean.
To rat someone out. Specifically by calling the cops on a pay phone.
First of all, there really aren't any pay phones any more. Second, it's been even long since anyone could pay for a call by putting a dime in the slot.

If was a very common term used back then.
