It's very rare to hear that word anywhere other than the Uk and possibly Oz. On one episode of Friends Chandler says "What a wank..." (referring to a person) I really don't think they fully understood the meaning of the word... :lol:

Depends how you say it, like anything.

"You wanker" said angrily, is like calling someone a frick/bastard/whatever word you use.

In the context of the conversation we were having, it was more about us just being a bunch of pricks, heckling the noob and all.

On the otherhand, it can mean you are a tosser. Which in turn can mean, you're full of ****, or you like playing with your dick.
 
:lol:

You will have to ask blarc about that one. He probably didn't coin the term, but it certainly was the first time I had heard it before.
I bring out the best in people I guess :lol:
 
I use wanker all the time....and know what it means. Now here in the states if you call a cigarette a fag...thats another story..................."I just got done smoking a fag" take on all kinds not so pretty pictures. You guys calla garbage can a bin as well. If I called it a bin, most americans would be lost. Also the same for calling a car hood a bonnet....a bonnet is a girls hat over here. Motherfucker is universal as well as **** and twat. :D

Just waiting for this thread to move on to how you colonials chose to "spell"! :wink: :lol:
 
Other terms Americans do not use or understand:
-Daft (Although many Americans are)
-Shite (Just plain **** here)
-Reckon (Mostly used by hillbillies and rednecks in the states)
-Shag (Unless your Austin Powers)
- Tele (TV here)
-Petrol (Gas)
- Mobile (Just plain Cell Phone in the states)
- Mum (Mom)
I know there are others. Any American terms you guys do not use?

To answer your observations:

Jelly is that jiggly ****...jam is made from preserves...I think

Ketch-up is also called Catsup over here

Football is Soccer

Your dating system is confusing

You steering wheel is on the wrong side

The metric system is way to complicated for us.
