The Atlantic managed to get their hands on a list of retired sayings that previously had a home on NECCO's Sweethearts, the Valentine's Day candy that's remained a staple for 147 years.
It should come as no surprise that some phrases didn't stand the test of time, though we'd happily buy up any remaining stock of the "You Are Gay" printed confections and gift them to our supposedly straight crushes in attempt at a Valentine's Day breakthrough.
Whatever. Don't judge. Check out the NECCO-provided list of retired Sweethearts sayings after the jump!

We knew that global warming was getting bad, but we didn't know that it was bad enough to freeze hell over. At least that's what some may have thought after visiting Uganda's government websites this week to find themselves greeted with pro-gay imagery and messages.
Turns out that support for the first gay Pride in the "Kill The Gays" country displayed on Uganda's official websites were the work of Anonymous, and not, in fact, pro-gay sentiment from some of the most notorious and dangerous homophobes on the planet. Whodda thunk?
