The word SAY "SAY" , "You fellas want to get a beer" "Say" "You girls look great" "Say" You kids stay out of trouble
"John"
I know exactly what you mean !
I mostly hear this in old ' 30s films.
I have a hat like above & whenever I wear it my wife will tell me,
" say...I luv your stetson "....in mock approval !
*****
Other terms that have not disappeared but yet have different meaning today.
For example:
My wife's grandmother from Britain when she noticed something peculiar or odd
she would use the word queer.
On happy occasions , it was gay times.
She never said this in a negative tone...it was the way the language was spoken
back then for her . I miss her so much !
