Ummm....Swankers?

tracilicious · 01-11-2005, 10:26 PM

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!

Morrigoon · 01-11-2005, 11:48 PM

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

€uroMeinke · 01-11-2005, 11:51 PM

I tend to use both swanker and swankster,

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.

MerryPrankster · 01-12-2005, 08:45 AM

I like swanker too!

I try not to thinkabout the wanker and the canker...

.

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