California widow: A married woman whose husband is away from her for any extended period

In the Navy they were called West Pac[ific] widows. The West Pac widows are generally thought to cheat on their husbands while they are out on deployment.

Somehow, I imagine strange looks resulting from hearing, “The spermologer went lunging with his zaftig wonder-wench.”

Since the topic is usage, may I point out that the headline should be "18 obsolete words that never should have gone out of style"?

In Obamaland, I think the word “work” has gone out of style.

Zafty: A person very easily imposed upon.

Democrats laugh at John Boehner behind closed doors because Boehner is such a zafty.

“Master” was the biggest loss.

It used to be Miss/Mrs. and Master/Mr.

When Master disappeared, the system became unbalanced, and paved the way for Ms.

Now Mr. has no meaning, so it is disappearing from usage. Miss has disappeared, since it’s perceived as patronizing. Mrs. and Ms. aren’t far behind.

I use "lickspittle" as much as possible, especially when referring to the Obammunist lickspittle media.

The 19th word is missing: the “N-word”, which perfectly describes the current Administration in DC, and the Federal Government, overall.
