ORIGINAL: xBullx -fast question- What the hell is a wanker? I'm assuming it isn't a superlative term for super hero. Tal Bull, As others might have pointed out already......wanker is an aussie term for a derogative mark to another person. ie..He was a bloody wanker to drink and drive, must have been a bloody wanker to try and handle that shark, must have been a wanker to walk along the highway......etc.... Be well. Frank Ar. "A Wanker", Bull, is an English term which of course made its way to Australia and New Zealand I'm sure (probably Canada and S Africa too). It refers to "one who masturbates" - and hence, someone who is so bereft of skills / smarts that he cannot accomplish anything properly (ie he masturbates because he cant get a woman to have proper sex with). Thus as FrankAr says, one may describe anyone who does something stupid or is just plain stupid as a wanker, someone who cant do the job theyre meant to do as a wanker etc; but it is a derogatory term which one would rarely say to someone's face - unless of course theyre a friend and its meant semi-seriously, (in England at least), where its fine to call one's brother or male friend a stupid wanker, (as well as a bastard, bugger, shithead, or whatever else). E Hmm, close, but not spot on - the term wanker is indeed British, but it doesn't describe incompetence per se, but rather a lack of brains. Since a excessive wanking dulls the mind, generates apathy, and generally focuses a person more on sex. Or as my father quaintly put it when I was a lad "Your brains go out the eye of your dick".
