Have you ever been to a Guitar Center? I guess over there it would be Anderton's, maybe? Lots of wankers. _________________________ You do NOT have the right to never be offended. | |||

Has the meaning of "wanker" changed?  | |||

Kids these days, with their high-tech wanking... Back in my day, we didn't need electronic gizmos and doodads. We did it the old-fashioned way. By hand. | |||

In case of confusion - Wanker is a term that literally means "one who wanks (masturbates)" but has since become a general insult. It is a pejorative term of English origin common in Britain and other parts of the English-speaking world, including Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It initially referred to an "onanist" and is synonymous with the word tosser. To the majority of English-speaking Americans, the word 'fanny' means about the same as 'butt', as in 'fanny-pack'. Here in UK the word 'fanny' means a lady's personal parts. Same goes for 'shag' - a kind of dance. In the UK it is a verb, meanly to engage in a very rough f*ck/sexual intercourse. Unless it is being used to refer to a kind of carpet - as in 'shag-pile' meaning shaggy. 'Two nations etc....' tac | |||

I recall my favorite saying, heard in the outskirts of London on my first trip there... We had just checked-in at a small B&B, and as I was picking up our luggage, the nice gentleman said to wife: "Shall I knock you up in the morning?" I got a good laugh from that one!

Well, I would declare the thread title misleading. But in this instance that's a good thing. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, pilot and author, lost on mission, July 1944, Med Theatre. | |||

Confusing thread title. Also, wanking doesn't require gear. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." - Pee Wee Herman Rode hard, put away wet. RIP JHM "You're a junkyard dog." - Lupe Flores. RIP | |||

If you've ever been to a Guitar Center, the original thread title would make total sense. Sorry for the confusion. In the world of guitar players, wanker means "not professional, loud, annoying, out of tune, not-great-sounding, amateur". _________________________ You do NOT have the right to never be offended. | |||

Wanker has always meant "masturbator" in a derogatory sense, here and I'm sure elsewhere. I'm not sure what else it's ever meant. It is not a figurative leap for guitar players to call ourselves 'wankers' in a humorous, self deprecating manner. *sigh* Anyway fwbulldog I had a fender cybertwin(solid state modeling amp) that lacked headroom and always sounded a little compressed. You ever miss tubes with that rig? A no would mean DSP is coming along nicely... | |||
