Thank you kindly?


Do you use the expression 'thank you kindly' in your daily conversation like the sentence? I know a few expressions using 'thank' such as 'thank you very much' or 'thanks a lot', but I've never heard of it before. Thanks in advance!

No, it's not. It seems like something that characters in old western films might say.

Ah. Horses. Ponies. That's probably the connection with "PonyFan".

(UK) While I agree that the expression is out of fashion, I would not be too surprised if I heard it in polite conversation, especially from an older person.
