re: #270 iceweasel

I’ve lived in the UK, yes. Wanker, however, is used a lot in the lefty-sphere, since Atrios created a ‘wanker of the day’ award.

Also, wanker is just a great word.

I don’t know Atrios. “Wanker” was in common usage when I was growing up, and not limited to any one political group. In fact, I don’t recall the lefties at my university using it against me. They favoured things like “Zionist scum”. Personally, I’m a fan of “smeghead”, which never seemed to have quite made it to the levels of “wanker”.
