Ummm....Swankers?
 
Has it occurred to anyone else that that nickname is awfully close to "wankers?" Might I propose "swankster" instead? I think it's a bit more swank being a swankster than a swanker. But then, what do I know about swank?

Yes, it is quite close to wanker, isn't it! :D

Morrigoon 01-11-2005 11:48 PM

yeah, funny how no one noticed that before now....

;)

I tend to use both swanker and swankster,

Eliza Hodgkins 1812 01-11-2005 11:52 PM

Well, I can be kind of a wanker.

So it's appropriate when applied to me, I guess.

Swankster does sound better, though.

It was funny. I saw the thread titled "Swanker meet" and I swear I read "Wanker meat." I'm saying swankster. ;)

Swanker - noun, one who swanks.

Swankster - noun, one who is swank.



A subtle distinction.


Use whichever you like. Your mileage may vary.

I think it's funny and I'm sticking with swanker. :D

MerryPrankster 01-12-2005 08:45 AM

I like swanker too! :cool: I try not to thinkabout the wanker and the canker...:eek: .

Hmmm, although now I can be a swankster prankster. I'm going to have to think about this.
