i thought australians were british (once)
Lol, what's that got to do with anything? Britain has the highest percentage of people who speak English correctly (Joke) :boxing_smiley:
Lol, not many over a certain age would as it's an American word mainly used here to describe quite vulger looking 'sports' jumpers
Anyway, I only meant it as a joke, every country has the write to play around with their own language I was just playing the part of the flag waving British snob

That's true. The British use to send their convicts to Australia in the late 1700's and early 1800's but the land was actually founded by aboriginals over 40, 000 years ago, whom migrated from Asia to get here. Believe it or not, they actually walked from Asia to Australia. Of course, this was before the two continents were separated by ocean. Many, if not all of the US was also taken over by Europeans many years ago as well. If you look at some of the names of cities and towns, you'll realise that they are the same as European towns and cities. Boston and Birmingham instantly come to mind. Anyway, just a little history lesson...I've gone way off topic here lol.
wanker vs. jerk
Yeah, could be, not sure which country 'wanker' originated in, but I work with lots of Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, Welsh, Scots, and Irish, and they all use 'wanker'. All of them speak a brand of English that has more in common with each other than with American English I'd say. Other examples: Mate, Bloke, to fancy s.t., my 'bird', etc. Americans would never use these words, but all the 'UK related' nations do. I'm American, btw.
Anyway, 'wanker' has a much better ring to it than 'jerk'
The OP looks like a real wanker!

I'd say wanker all the way.
