Well I never

Typical knee jerk woke reaction of the millenial snowflake.

For a brief moment, I thought the forum rules had been changed to stop the excessive snowflake modding of 'inappropriate language', hence my bit that said;

Fantastic...Cat, meet pigeons.

I was looking forward to it, but alas, it was just Old Greg using words that are generally no longer used in the UK vernacular.
Oh well.

I was talking about usage (vernacular), not knowledge.

Perhaps earlier in the day, but not now.
Removal of ignorance is surely something to be encouraged, not used as a retrospective cudgel.
(Anyway, it's still not in the UK vernacular, no matter the frequency that you post it on this forum...)


Also, as you've posited educated adults, I'm intrigued;

• Which syllabus would it be covered under? Politics, English?
• What age-level?
• Is it currently taught in the UK? (If not, when did it stop?)
• Is/was it mandatory learning?

Firstly it's used in the Metro so it's hardly a formal, antiquated or specialist term.

Secondly, you appear to confusing 'something that educated adults typically know (in contrast to the knowledge level of other categories of person)' with 'something that was on an educational syllabus'. Have a think about causal relationships and report back if you fancy.

Are you trying to imply that educated adults, aren't actually 'educated' from the education system (aka schooling), but rather became 'educated adults' by themselves outside of this system?
Interesting alternative point of view...is that how you were 'educated'?

Are you saying that you haven't learned anything new since leaving school/college? Do you not think that adults continue to learn as they go through life and experience different, new, things?

Feck, you've got me going off topic now .... come on. let's get back to identifying DP as a snowflake Seems he has a fellow snowflake in Spuddy too who seems a bit upset that he was banned for a week

No. You are incorrectly inferring. Being an educated adult is an indicator for a level of knowledge beyond what they learned in their formal education.
