On the fine points I'm pretty clear.
Although being overweight is not a perquisite to being a wanker, it can't hurt. The place of residence is no hindrance to being a wanker.
A wanker is as a wanker does, bless his heart.

Texan wanker: Everything in Texas is soooo big - do y'all know that back in Texas it takes half a day to drive from one side of my ranch across to the other side?
Strammy: Yeah, I had a car like that once.

These songs are about the literal meaning of being a wanker.
Relax, don't do it.
I'm turning Japanese. I really think so.
I think that Strummy and his fellow Brits use it more casually. Like calling someone a jerk.
Is that close, Steve?

Indeed O55, you are right on the money. When used as a verb, it is quite literal - e.g. "While watching a blue movie, he started winking enthusiastically"  When used as a noun, as you correctly postulate, it means 'jerk'. Which probably has the same etymology! " Always buy pornographic books in hardback because they're easier to hold with one hand" Wayne Kerr

TMI my friend.
  I am, but that's irrelevant. Both hands equally uncoordinated. By TMI you mean Too Much Imagination, don't you.
