Yes - thanks for the explanation - I see the word "wank" and that means - you know - over here.

Dunno whether it means the same elsewhere but a - you know what is a you know what over here.

Sounds cool tho

All is smooth as always.

nope, Mark "wank" and/or "wanker" are complete and utter British words as far as i know. not sure if Canadians use the term, however.

there are some words that we share that have different meanings and have several degrees of vulgarity scale differences, but i'll leave that there.

there are some very cool British words that are starting to gain popularity here in terms of useage like "wonky"...great word that.

there are volumes written on this subject, all pretty funny really.

Wanker is not in wide usage in western canada but it's not unheard of.

Well here in Canada in my region on the Quebec side of Ontario we get what is called "frenglish" combination of both languages - this may not sound weird to you but my kids - who speak french - are using the term "full nice" in a sentence - means it's cool or really nice - remember they,re speaking french not english - KD - never heard of snarky
