To have not realised that "Plonker" means penis.

[OonaStubbs]

Until today when DP told me. I was very surprised as it never occurred to me. I also can't believe that they got away with saying it on TV in the 80s during family viewing time!

"You're pulling my plonker" Used this in the 70s/80s

Definitely also a penis.
The truth can be two things at the same time. Amazing

No

It means you fool, muppet, daft sod, silly sausage

Pillock means Penistone

Plonker does not

I thought plonker meant condom🤔

Yeah, different use of the same word

I've heard plonker used for both idiot and penis.

Yep, I know it to mean penis too although it's used more to mean idiot.

Do you ever question your DP OP or do you just believe everything he says?

It is like twat meaning vagina. Most people saying “you twat, Colin!” are not calling Colin a vagina, just an idiot.

What on God's green earth is a 'penistone'

I think he means Pecker, the Plonker

Isn't it a town in Yorkshire?!

I was about 14/15 when fools and horses was on and my best friend wasn’t allowed to say plonker, her dad was really strict. I remember her telling me that her mum got tipsy at Christmas and asked her dad what it meant. (This is a woman who didn’t know she had sex the first time she had sex) It was a simpler time.

Your DH is wrong.

It means prat /idiot

Yes, me too.

I think a condom is referenced as such in the film Wish You Were Here. Though I was doubting my memory until @menopausalmare commented.

It has 2 meanings, like so many English words.

"You're pulling my plonker" cannot mean "you're pulling my idiot".

My phone, for reasons unknown, autocorrects penis to Penistone

I do not know why!!

Maybe @SamphiretheTervosaur phone's autocorrect is a coy as mine!!!

No I googled it and found that he was right.

I’ve never heard this.

In much the same way Scunthorpe is a town in Lincolnshire, I believe ?

Well I've checked the OED and you're right! The SECOND meaning of it anyway.
But I don't think DelBoy ever meant that.
The first meaning is simply "foolish or inept person", which is I'm sure all he meant.

It has definitely been used to mean penis a lot longer than idiot. plonker, n. meanings, etymology and more | Oxford English Dictionary

I thought it meant stupid person. So if it's true then YANBU because I've never heard that before

This!

@oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends

Never, ever, ever heard anyone say this. I've lived in lots of different regions as well.
