Re: Wanker
 
My 9 yr old daughter growing up in Italy knows what it means after this conversation we had in the car last year ...........

I didn't know it then but now thanks to her, I know that I swear under my breath when driving and that kids have MASSIVE ears.

Italian driver cuts me up on roundabout and makes me brake hard and swerve.

I say - very quietly - "you pr*ck !"

Daugther says, "Mummy - what does pr*ck mean?"

I reply, 'It's a naughty English word that Mummy just used to describe that stupid man that nearly made Mummy crash the car."

Daughter says,

"It's okay Mummy - I was only wondering you know because you usually say Wanker!"

That reminds me of the 'short shag sale' advertisement at the local carpet store. :rofl:

But it's not George Formby. It's Ivor Biggun, also known as Doc Cox from That's Life.

And when I say something is "Bollocks" She replys, It's not "BollLOX" she can't pronounce it right so the argument normally turns into me laughing at her.

Never heard any Yank say wanker before, I've shouted it at a few of them while driving so maybe it will spread.
It gets even more confusing when you use the phrase 'Dogs Bollocks'

Countless times I have tried to explain the uses of the word bollocks and they just never use it quite right.
