This is the 147th Valentine's Day people will celebrate with those candy conversation hearts.  Sure, they taste like a mix of chalk and garbage, but the messages on them are the BEST.  Which is why people buy FOUR MILLION POUNDS of them a year.

"The Atlantic" talked to NECCO, the company behind them, and got a list of some of the messages on the hearts they've RETIRED over the years.  After all, slang evolves, and you don't want your hearts sounding un-hip, right?

Here are our picks for the top 10 retired conversation heart messages . . .

#10.)  HOT CHA.

#9.)  The peace symbol.

#8.)  1-800 CUPID.

#7.)  YOU ARE LATE.  (In this day and age, people would see that as a teen pregnancy scare.)

#6.)  SAUCY BOY.

#5.)  HEP CAT.

#4.)  DIG ME.

#3.)  GROOVY.

#2.)  FAX ME.

#1.)  YOU ARE GAY.  (Yep, they really had this one.  It was back when it actually meant "You are happy and lighthearted".)
