Can you name anything that youngsters of today won't know?

And to think just recently I was innocently chatting about a deceased friend of mine, a kilt and bagpipe maker by trade, who taught himself drystane dyking ... and not a double entendre or sexual reference in sight !

Snopes: Modern products still sometimes bear labels and descriptions that include a color named for a racial pejorative.

Took my mum years to stop calling a certain shade of wool 'Nigger Brown'.
Most uses of the word nigger get changed these days, Ten Little Niggers by Agatha Christie hasn't been around for a while for example.

I believe it has been renamed "And then there were none" in the US.
Although in French, the original title (translated) is still used, a proposition has been made recently to rephrase/reformulate all the collocations using the "N" word; it's used to designate "ghostwriter" for instance.
