Question

How come no one says skedattle or hooligan or breeches anymore?

Answer 1

i do .but not breeches

Answer 2

I live in NYC and never heard the words skedaddle or hooligan  used in any context relating to horse attire. We do use the word breeches though.

Answer 3

Many people who ride say breeches all the time.  We occasionally say skedaddle and hooligan when the situation calls for it.  I got congratulated for properly using flabbergasted in a sentence one day.  I like using less common words.

Answer 4

I say breechers... and i also say hooligans... but i say it in gest of some silly western movie i saw once... "d**n hooligans"
