> [@Equipoise](#): > > My guess is that “wanker” is a British slang term for someone who masturbates, though it is usually used in a derogatory manner, for some reason. The guy’s a master at it, and has a speech impediment. Cigar? Except that the masturbation connection isn’t literal, and the speech impediment bit – the preferred pronunciation is “Wang-ka.” Here’s a [dictionary entry with multiple .wav pronunciation examples](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wanker), because there’s _nothing_ you can’t find on the internet. So no cigar for you. I might be able to dig up a few dog-ends, though. 😛 ---

You know, this thread reminds me…while we’ve done a [Straight Dope Horror Movie](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=165014) and a [Straight Dope Epic Adventure/Fantasy Movie](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=185078) we’ve never done a **Straight Dope Romantic Comedy**. Hmmmm. Maybe be we should! ---

I might be able to dig up a few dog-ends, though. 😛 OK. I got that part. I assumed that the “now, I get it” part was about how he’ll never be a couple. At least that’s what he wrote on page 1 to which some Dopers responded with some self-realization. So, is that because he has a Master in his name or because he’s a solo masturbater? ---

Well, after four pages, looks like I’m the guy in corner of the resaurant, sitting alone with a newspaper, just like in real life. How’s that for being a drama queen? ---

> [@litost](#): > > …on page 1 to which some Dopers responded with some self-realization. So, is that because he has a Master in his name or because he’s a solo masturbater? I didn’t get the masturbation reference at all. I thought it was an Asian (or perhaps Anime) reference. I pronounced it Wang-KAAAAH, accent on the second syllable. ---
