matmacwc Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 obsolescent adjective much of the business etiquette our parents knew is obsolescent: dying out, on the decline, declining, waning, on the wane, disappearing, past its prime, aging, moribund, on its last legs, old-fashioned, outmoded, downlevel, on the way out; obsolete, outdated, out of date, behind the times. Learn something new er'ey day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it was the tie you got for free. Doesn't punching just make you 'eligible' to buy the watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
