 Cream rinse..wow, brings back memories.
Eckerds will always be Genovese.
Gram also says "Brazierre" and calls flip flops "thongs"

And I do say Price Club sometimes.

And I just had a conversation re: Genovese at work last week. Eckerd will always be GENOVESE!
Just like to me, Duane Reade will always be Rock Bottom!!
Busy Bee is non existant too.....I sometimes still accidentally refer to Kohls as that , which is funny because Busy Bee has been closed for YEARS!
ETA one of Grandmas faves: 5 & 10 (which is now like the dollar stores)!

Re: Words that don't exactly exist anymore...
I actually said this the other day and I got strange stares....
" a jerk is a tug, a tug is a boat, a boat sails on water, water is nature, nature is beautiful...so thanks for the compliment."
You have heard this before, right?

My mom still calls the Broadway Mall "The Plaza"
I'm bad at this...
For years, I called Broadway Mall, Mid Island mall.
When programming the DVR, I ask DH to "tape" the show.
I still say "record"
ETA: My father and uncles knew the Genovese family. they had another brother, an M.D., who was the doctor to my grandparents and parents for a while and was a fishing buddy of my Dad.
Sorry, Eckerd's will always be Genovese to us.
