Any 'not anymore used' german words like “jawohl” and “Fräulein”? [closed]
I would like to know any, shall I say, "out-of-use" german words that may or may not carry connotations, like 'jawohl' or 'Fräulein'. And of course words that would sound somehow weird nowadays. I am doing this simply for fun and knowledge.
So, more clearly said, write here any outdated german words. :)

Jawohl. simply means Got it. It's not outdated. You may hear
Jawoll!
quite often if one acknowlegdes something which went well. For example, commenting a good move in a football game.
Fräulein is not used any more to address unmarried women. You may still hear it when parents address their daughter.
Ach, das Fräulein will wieder mal verreisen. – Ja, Papa!
