I am curious where you got this impression. Although there are localized insults/profanity, new variations rise to the surface constantly. Profanity in English tends to be on the front line of change in the fluidity of language. Sure, there are tried-and-true stand-bys, but there are always new variations entering the lexicon, even if only briefly.
