my hope for the future

It is my fond wish that I live long enough to see the day where a phrase like "fo shizzle" is viewed as quaint and hopelessly obsolete an anachronism as "odds bodkins" or "so's your old man."

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Okay, I'll grant you that it's not as anachronistic as your examples, but I'm pretty sure it became both of those things (although you might prefer a more derogatory term than "quaint") the second freaking Fran fecking Drescher said in a fracking Old Navy ad.

Nah, see, that's "dated" or, yeah, "obsolete," but it's not the sort of cutely old-fashioned thing old men say, or that you giggle about in books from decades ago.

I think the word you're looking for in that case is "embarrassing."

Actually, I think it was usually "remote control". :D
