my most embarassing experience at a poker table
 

last semester i was studying (if you can call it that) in london... i frequented the victoria casino about five times a week and was pretty chummy with most of the regulars there...

then one day they were discussing some random guy and one of the younger guys at the table said "ah, i hate that bloke, he's a wanker..." being the sophisticated american i am, i couldn't make sense of his slang, and i asked, innocently, hesitantly: what's a wanker?

a loooooong silence ensued... "uuuuh, mate.. it's someone who wanks"

I thought a wanker was a part of male genitalia. I didn't realize it was an actual person. If I call someone a d---, I wouldn't call them a dicker. I guess you could call them a masterbater, but that is so clinical and not very harsh.

Learn something new every day. Can the UK people here corroborate? Wanker is:

a. D---
b. Person who masterbates
c. Both

From UrbanDictionary.com:

the term plonker started out as a reference to someone who was forever drunk on cheap wine (cheap wine is nicknamed plonk) this person was usualy a homeless person, or poor person.

today the term plonker is a very light hearted insult. Its not even seen as an insult, its like calling someone a wally. Its in no way ment maliciously. you call someone a plonker when they say or do something stupid.

A WANG is male genitalia. To wank means to masturbate, and subsequently a wanker is one who masturbates.

Re: my most embarassing experience at a poker table
 

Wanker - This is a derogatory term used to describe someone who is a bit of a jerk. It actually means someone who masturbates and also has a hand signal that can be done with one hand at people that cannot see you shouting "wanker" at them. This is particularly useful when driving.

Taken from this guide.
