Thanks Adster. and I will make it a sticky that will be locked for you to add to if needed. BTW, I moved our flockstar post to the Naysayer thread as I believe he has not read the first post. Just wanted to say "Good Luck" to him too.

We are entering the exciting times and I believe what bases this is a good Ideal for you to create. It will be a "Good" "Vocal" place to point people to. I must leave for the DayJob. But up on my return Adster, if you have this posted, send me a PM and I will get that done for you.

You might consider "Permalinks from the "History Thread" also. These post are in order permenantly.

Thanks Neno, got a few bits to do but will try and do it today, jus a case of going through the archives.

Enjoy one of your last days if not the last day at work, LOL.

Hey Adam, can you give me an American type definition of *Wankers* & *Tossers* . . . I realize they are slang / & derogatory . . .

We have an expression [especially around NYC] = *Ball-Busters* . . . could it be that they are similiar??

You also need to know that Sir Winston is my favorite 20th century World Citizen . . . I even smoke his size & brand of Cubans . . .

It is what we call a "jerk off".

RR,

The noun wanker has one meaning:
Meaning #1: terms of abuse for a masturbator
Synonyms: tosser, jerk-off



Wanker is a pejorative term of British origin, also common in Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.

Meaning

The term literally means "one who wanks" (masturbates). In particular, it may connote one (usually male) who is self-obsessed, or a show-off. It has similar meanings and overtones to American pejorative terms like "jerk", "jerk-off", or "prick".The term wanker has also been extended, as a generic insult, to cover self-aggrandizement or ostentatious behaviour, specifically where the performer's impression of their own talent and ability manifestly exceeds that of the audience. Similarly, "wanking" can describe any showy activity that mainly pleases its participant, such as playing air guitar, free-form guitar playing, drum solos, or progressive jazz saxophone solos. It can also refer to private jokes, in-jokes, eccentric behaviour, and esoteric references (common in geek and academic circles).

The wanker gesture


In calling someone a wanker, it is now not generally taken to accuse someone of masturbation but rather as just a general insult. This means that such non-sensical phrases at first hearing do not sound ridiculous, such as "He had his hands chopped off. What a wanker!". Ironically, if "wanker" was to be taken literally a person with no hands would be physically incapable of masturbating.
As with many profanities, wanker is considered much less shocking today than a generation ago, though it is still an insult. [citation needed]
The idea can be gestured by curling the fingers of the hand into a loose fist and moving the hand back and forth to symbolicly imitate the act of male masturbation. It is sometimes enacted during altercations between motorists, where one motorist shows the "hand-shandy" in front of the rear-view mirror for the benefit of a recently-overtaken motorist.

Far be it from me to tell all of our friends across the board they are wrong' but here in reality we call all of them lawyers and politicians

Needless to say the hand gesture gets used an awful lot when driving, lol.
