I should send one to my maga SIL. Last Christmas he gave me a throw pillow that had "If assholes could fly this place would be an airport" embroidered on it. It's prominently displayed on a shelf in the living room.

I tried to look it up and the dictionary said one who masterbates.

Several years ago we saw The Who in concert. Pete Townsend was reminiscing about the late, infamous Keith Moon when he ended by saying Keith Moon was a wanker. I’ve been wondering about that ever since.

As in “what a farkin wanker.”

When referring to a despicable character.
Or a stupid fool.

I am on a number of British forums, as an American I don’t ask too many questions about their cuss words.

because I laughed so hard when I first saw it and begged my family for one.

Too bad that shirt wasn't around in the W presidency.
