Although my parents use some archaic words:
"Pass me yon cup please." (Yon as in yonder = that cup)
"It's a bully old day." (bully = good, grand)
"That's a quare setup." (quare = strange)
"Oh aye... that's right." (aye* = yes) *common in Northern Ireland / Scotland too
We use "woe" a lot. (woe = misery)
Em... that's it really I suppose.
