I've got a new favorite word. Wanker.
n. One who wanks.
What do you guys think? If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time~Proust
~The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

I hate to tell you, but the Brits beat you to it a long, long time ago.
But I do like the word. I use it myself on occasion.

What do you guys think? Is this new favorite word new to you?
Are you just now discovering a very personal brand new you?
You have much to learn as the dictionary becomes your new friend and tool.  Does anyone have a hat for this young man?

A mix between a friend an an enemy. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben

Hm...
Working at a camp as a counsellor, I was around when one of the other cousellors (a Scot), let that particular word slip in front of the kiddies, who immidiately wanted to know what it ment. They were 10, so we're not telling them the real answer. So, thinking on his feet, the guy says "It means someone with one ear bigger than the other."
Of course, the kids ran around comparing ear sizes and determining which of their members were um... 'wankers'...  The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated. -Oscar Wilde

did that end up being a pain in the april for you?

Gav, I thought it was spelled "sarcasm" :-) - Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)

Yeah, it's definately crossing the pond. My friends and I use it all the time. It's weird that it took so long for most Americans to catch on to it, too. Bullocks as well.
But I'm afraid that the best word in the entire English language is not British at all, but is rather one that I made up:
