  What is a wank?...I hear the Brits refer to people as "wankers", but this is a different meaning, no?!

  Google is useful for finding most information.

  Just type in the information you seek - it's all there for ya.

  Thank you...I have done this in the past, but sometimes end up with more spam than information...so I thought it "safer" to just ask the OP.

  German Wank (in translation)

  English wank (I like "Teasing" part)

  Thanks Alosso...I think we can safely eliminate the German definition on this one...lol, although it is interesting.

  I'm kind of partial to the the "Hostage" one.:)

  I thought this was what the OP might be referring to, but since it is self applied, her comment about getting paid for it, caused me to question. As an aside, I notice there were no expressions pertaining to women...gender bias by the author?..lol

  From the given context, payment would point to powerball winnings IMHO, and the gender bias might be overcome in one way or the other, either speaking figuratively, or by application to unexpected&hidden items.

  Good point Alosso...and probably correct.  Alas, the Power-ball went (California area?)...maybe Chad or one of the Mods won it...just think of all the improvements that could be made to WGT with a Billion+ dollars...lol

  The thread was enjoyable while it lasted...:)

  Yet another reason to hate California and everyone in it.

  Heh, 1 of the 3 winning tickets  was purchased at a 7-11 store in the 6th highest income area in the state. Go figure. The rich get richer and the poor get kids.  :-(

  I was watching "Price is Right" when Bob Barker was host...this guy won the grand prize of matching Cadillacs...cut to commercial...upon returning, Barker asked the guy to repeat to the TV audience what he had just said during break...The guy had asked if he could get different cars, as he had just bought his wife and himself matching Cadillacs...oi vey.
