Haha Grant Very Happy

It means that its rubbish or shite (for want of a better word).

Sometimes you may want to customize or change the expression so it becomes different or more your own. My personal favourites are 'wankpot!' and - in the words of Rick Mayall - 'Oh Wank Biscuit!'

There you go Grant. Have fun and be careful now. Smile

Haha

Usually it's a verb... you do it! Well, maybe you do. Damn, keep digging...

But uh, yeah. Using it as a noun is comical, and somehow less offensive, I think. It's good. Feels very English, and I like that.

"one thinks that the television programme was awful, don't you think charles?"

"why yes camilla. i thought mark lamaar was a pile of wank"

"gosh charles! i thought that you were more erudite and polite than that!"

"no dear. he was wank! im sorry. ive never seen someone so wank in my entire wanking life"

yeh, very british like that. ANYWAY - off topic, i know. im sorry. i just felt that i needed to illustrate Jonny's point through the medium of speech. Rolling Eyes
