I use "archaic" as a term that has documented use in past generations, but 
is no longer used or known by present day speakers.  There may be persons 
who recall the term however.
I use "old" for those terms that may be heard from and used by a few 
persons, but are not the usual word or pronunciation of a word that is 
current.
