Help answer this question below.
im not from the uk, but the word is uesd a lot in NZ, it is a degratory term for a .....well an idiot, some one who is a tosser ( lol, now thats another english term) a bore, a know it all, some one who people dont really like..........
Whilst wanker literally means masturbator it is a casual insult intended to mean that the person is simply a waste of time, pathetic, ineffectual etc., It's become so 'normal' it's no longer considered too rude even for kids to say - and unfortunately lots of them do!
Im not entirely sure what 'jerkoff' means but if its what I think then thats closer to the meaning of 'wanker' than 'dickhead'...... If that makes any sense! It isn't one of the worst words but you certainlt wouldn't say it in polite company!
You don't have to be from the U.K. It's a dick.
wank⋅er
–noun Chiefly British and Australian Slang: Vulgar.
1. a contemptible person; jerk.
2. a male masturbator.

if you have to ask....
Lest there be any doubt, the word is not in polite use.
wanking is another word for masturbating, so i suppose a wanker is what you'd call a jerk?
Wanker means Asshole
Someone who isn't worth it, someone who's totally pathetic, you know like asshole
wankers are hicks unsophisticated simple minded hicks from the sticks types your cousins from the country are coming time to tone it down

Specifically, does it mean 'dick head' or 'jerkoff'?

I googled it, as it in fact wasnt in our dictionary, it referes indirectly to both of the above I guess,
definition: vulgar, a contempitable person, , a jerk, a male masturbator............
is that enough to satisfy your question .........LOL :)
