How come white people don’t say things like “Golly Gee Willikers”, “Radical” & “ Gee Wiz” anymore?

Golly Gee is American Golly Gosh is British.
Gee is short for Jesus.

I guess it's because we don't drink lashings and lashings of ginger beer any more.

Language is fluid, it evolves, words that were common growing up are likely not in the modern vernacular etc.

[OlderAndWiser]

Same reason that black people don't say "dy-no-mite!" or "go on wid yur bad sef! any more.

They never did. Most of that shit is just tropes in literature and movies.
