Now, that's a wanker....(which I believe is a British colloquialism for a masturbator).

In British slang to wank is to masturbate, so a wanker is indeed a masturbator. My understanding is that the point of calling someone a wanker is to accuse that person of social ineptness combined with physical unattractiveness so as to render masturbation their only available outlet for sexual release. A social and sexual loser, in other words.

Correct on every point.
