Times have changed. People love saying that, and most of the time, it seems like it’s pretty true – at least on the surface.

Some of these 17 popular (but dated) sayings seem to prove that fact, while others seem fit to make us realize people haven’t changed much at all.

Check them out!

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out.”
