Is he stuck for something to say so resorts to trying to insults which many do in this forum? Is he so different?

Cacophony. A lot like what comes out of some people's "cake holes".

Cacophony: a harsh discordant mixture of sounds.

I haven't heard that word in many years!

Good One!

Moonbus has recently revealed himself as a 'dermatitis vegetarian.'

Are these words going out of fashion or words that should never have been 'in' fashion?

"Far out, man".

That sounds like an expression from back in the 60's early 70's.

Here are seven words I think we should start using again immediately.
Facetious. Pronounced “fah-see-shuss”, this word describes when someone doesn't take a situation seriously, which ironically is very serious indeed. ...
Henceforth. ...
Ostentatious. ...
Morrow. ...
Crapulous. ...
Kerfuffle. ...
Obsequious.

I remember the expression used 'outta sight', just not the decade it was used in.
