Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yea, I see it as a world wide trend in many languages: the dialects are going away
This comment makes me realize I might've misunderstood the one I was replying too. I believed "going away in style" meant "going away in a stylish manner". Like, it's fading from use, but since a while and until it disappears it's become a fancy phrase. Now I guess it just means it's fading from use. But the point I was trying to make is that I believe that, because Nina Simone used it, it's now a stylish phrase even if it wasn't before.
There are many cool terms and phrases just waiting to be spoken and written again. But yes
Also apparently this particular op phrase lives on in some areas, going by that uk comment
