“Wanker” the British Term for Penis??

I had to laugh the other day, I was watching a British movie, or at least a movie made by Americans with British accents, shall we say, and they kept referring to men they thought were idiots or “penis heads” or the less complementary term we all know here in America “wankers”.

Wankers is Britain is really just a slam on men who act like idiots, pretty much like our word for the male part of the anatomy that would get bleeped on TV or the radio nowadays. 

Let’s just say it rhymes with “tick”, and it’s a funny word, one that many women find very descriptive of men when they’ve ticked them off in one way or another or that men also find very useful when they’re slamming a comrade or a friend who’s made them ad.

At any rate, the British language is a funny one, because almost everything in the British language has a slang term that is the equivalent for one we’ve created here in the US, it just sounds more proper and all, considering they have those darned sophisticated sounding accents! 

Anything, even the most vile sentence would probably sound innocent and debonnaire when spoken with a British accent.  So unfair, right, that we weren’t given a great accent like that here in America.  Instead we have the southern drawl and the gum smacking Jersey accents!
