All this use of the word wanker, It's a bit insulting, don't you think?

ERRRM.................no

As a rule, I try not to use this word.
(Try being the operative word)

I dont think the word is insulting at all, I think if anything, it demeans and cheapens the person who uses it.

oh DO you dear? well I think it is simply a word, like millions of other words, it is the INTENTION BEHIND it that determines whether its an insult or not, the word 'thanks' in the right context can be an insult OR even sarcastic ...... thanks.

Well, I like it, its my second favorite 'swear' word, second only to Bollocks,
I dont like it because of its literal meaning, but more for the way its used to indicate ones utter contempt for the person at who it is aimed, I think even if one didnt understand the actual meaning, the WAY its said and its very sound would leave one in no doubt that it is meant as an insult.
I really dont have a problem with people swearing, to me swearing does not ALWAYS indicate low intelligence or a poor vocabulary, because somtimes and in certain situations, nothing gets your point over better, they can be the verbal equivalent of a baseball bat.

Wanker, bollocks, insults and baseball bats, nice one old hippy guy, peace and love to you too.
