@sophiasmithgaler: British insults are changing. A new survey out today suggests young people decreasingly recognise insults like ‘plonker’. Thing is…what are we saying instead? How much of this is regional rather than generational? And will Del Boy ever call Rodney a simp? #language #insults #british #english

I'd guess some of it is TV shows are using / inventing less slang. e.g Only Fools, Porridge, Steptoe etc. all invented or used lots of slang in popular shows each week.
