Wanker!

  • I should probably add that I'm quite fond of the wanker who wrote this rant.
  • Crackpot!
  • Wassock!
  • Does the US also lack the utility of the non-verbal 'wanker'? A loose fist shaken in a simulacrum of masturbation can convey the appropriate sentiment when, say, the opposition striker puts the ball wide from only three yards out (and is of course most impressive when performed simultaneously, accompanying with guttural jeers, by a whole packed terrace) or out the back window of the bus that is speeding you away from the gang of school bullies who you just narrowly outran. Flipping the bird (as I believe you have it) has the same problems as alluded to with 'douchebag' in the article here, I think. I always spelled that 'wazzock' myself Nostril
  • In London, at an intersection near Hyde Park, I was witness to the following exchenge: Guy in car who'd just nearly been killed by taxi driver: "WANKER!!!" Grinning taxi driver: "Every mornin'!" (Taxi drives happily off. Curtain)
  • Americans already have their own word for just such a concept. It's asshole Specifically, Cal Thomas is an ignorant asshole
  • The great thing about 'Wanker,' as an epithet, is that, unless the target is profoundly repressed, it is entirely accurate. Just try not to visualise the target of your ire engaging in said act...
  • Smeghead!
  • Jerkoff?
  • For sheer wank, check out Paul Wolfowitz on Iraq, a few weeks before the invasion got underway.
  • Republican (obvious)
  • Pillock
  • Double plus mother fucker
  • How about 'wangst'? Combination of angst and wanker.
  • Prat? (or is it pratt? I dunno) Wanker is still the best, I think.
  • Does the US also lack the utility of the non-verbal 'wanker'? I've seen people do this, and for a while I used to say "hand-jerky motion" when I wanted to be ever so slightly less crass. So it's around.
  • Cunt.
  • Cunt?
  • I think the term "wanker" was degraded in American culture when the producers of "Married With Children" made it Peg Bundy's maiden name. (Cultural memes are supposed to be created by "Sienfled" and "Simpsons", NOT "MWC") Looking for terms that are less-easily-censorable (with SOME of the media getting more censorial), you can't go wrong with words coined in Sci-Fi like "Farscape's" Frell, Larry Niven's Tanj or Tanjit, "Babylon 5's" Flarn or Harry Harrison's Bowb. And the perfct source has to be satiric sci-fi, and "Red Dwarf's" SMEG is the king of them all, but some Hitchhiker's Guide references are also useful, like the Neo-Cons who call themselves 'Vulcans' but are really 'Vogons'. Nope, I'm all behind SMEGGER, and anybody who can't figure out that it's an insult, is one.
  • Twat? I cunt hear you.
  • Wanker is clearly rather good but I don't think you should limit yourself to it, similar to 'ass' it can be used as a modifier in a number of useful compound words, such as asstatic|wanktastic.
  • Coming from Australia I hold dear the term "wanker." Knobjockey, cockbreath and cumguts are several others my brothers and I use when referring to each other in afectionate terms.
  • affectionate
  • What did you say, Koko? Fuck did you say, Koko? Fuck dick you say, Koko? Fuck dick you gay, Koko? Fuck dick you gay cock! (Just in case: No, I am not insulting Koko. This is strictly a word game like the ones my mom gets off on in her puzzle books.)
  • Fuck dick you gay cock?! Why, I never!
  • Wanker hits back, possible rapid concealment and risk of fracture ensues.
