"If you take my tip you jolly well sill, and that eftsoons or right speedily." (from The Inimitable Jeeves, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
I don't know about you, but "eftsoons" is not a word that I use every day. It means "soon after" and is listed in the dictionary as being an archaic word. But, of course, archaic does not mean that it is wrong. So you can still use it, and people will think you are smart for doing so.
