Any 'not anymore used' german words like “jawohl” and “Fräulein”? [on hold]

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So, more clearly said, write here any outdated german words. :)

    German Language is a question & answer site where we are very good in answering a question on a single issue. Please understand that generating multiple big lists of words would not be a good fit for this site, as we would be unable to select a good answer. Such lists would easily be generated from dictionary entries: e.g. duden.de/suchen/dudenonline/veraltend or duden.de/suchen/dudenonline/veraltet

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 It's not outdated.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!

The couple of outdated words that come to mind are mädel and schweinhund. I have heard of the former popularity of these words, but haven't personally experienced it.
Nevertheless, I especially like schweinhund and would like to see it make a comeback.
