Wanker is a British slang term that emerged in the early 20th century, literally meaning "someone who masturbates," from the verb "to wank." Its sexual meaning gave it a metaphorical edge, turning it into a general insult for someone regarded as contemptible, foolish, or irritating. It has been used across the UK and other English-speaking countries in informal speech, often among men but also in broader contexts. The word is derogatory, sometimes playful among friends but generally considered offensive in polite conversation.
