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!

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?

Specifically, does it mean 'dick head' or 'jerkoff'?
by Adz3r0 on January 8th, 2009
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 :)
