"Strokers" versus "Directed Wankers"

[shereads]

Is there a difference?

Do all wankers fall into the "directed" category, or are there freestyle wankers?

I need to become familiar with the terminology before I apply for the research grant.

Don't forget the category of "self-directed" wankers.

BTW can wankers be of female gender?

I like to say girls can be Hamlet too, so yes, I wank, at least metaphorically; definitely stroke.

But I too am flummoxed by your query, ella. However, I'm sure I'm a freestyle wankette.

It SOUNDS like a reliable old firm, doesn't it?

 

[damppanties]

wankette.

Reminds me of a dialogue I had yesterday. We were watching a third grade movie and a guy calls a girl a 'bastard'.

Me: He called her a bastard.
Aunt: (Gives me strange look.)
Me: (defensively) I mean, she's a girl. Can girls be bastards?
Aunt: (laughs) Then what should he call her? What's the girl term?
Me: Bastardess.
Aunt: (sputters and has a giggling fit)


On topic- Strokers vs. wankers? *shrugs* whatever gets you there.

I like that, Quas, only I'd prefer Stroker at the end.

Damp, a bastard is merely a term for an illegitimate child, the gender doesn't matter; somehow it came to be associated mostly with males when used expletively.

FYI, there's a great line in "King Lear" wherein Edmund, a real bastard and bastard, speaks of his illegitimacy (which means he is "nothing" legally) and yells, "Stand up for bastards!" He's one of my fave Shakespearean villains, I find him erotic in a perverse fashion .

Really?

Well, now that I think about it. Yes, I guess.
It still seems wrong to call a girl 'bastard' though.

Damp, I recommend a very fine book by Dorothy Allison, Bastard out of Carolina, among other things about her mother's quest to not have her daughter registered as a bastard via her birth certificate.

Remind me to post the Strom Thurmond's Illegitimate Daugher Thread tomorrow if this one has fizzled...

"Directed Wanker" is a term I heard from one of the authors here at AH. I'm as curious as the rest of you, maybe moreso.

In the landmark motion picture, "Airplane," if you recall, that section of the airport bookstore was marked, "Whacking Off Material."*

Is that term permanently consigned to the 1970's-80's now?


*Edited to ask: Or was it "Jacking Off Material." Whacking Off sounds wrong, somehow.

 

[TheEarl]

I don't know why, but I always thought of bastard being something you apply to a man and bitch being its female opposite.

Does a directed wanker aim for a particular target when he comes?

"Directed" wanking - I once got my brother the best birthday present. It was one of those wanking kits, complete with glove, elephant condom and a dartboard. The outer ring said - call your doctor. Next inner ring - call your mum. Next inner ring - call your girlfriend etc etc until until you got the bull's eye which said - hell, call anyone one. Maybe that's directed wanking? Something to aim for?

I like the cranking wanking comment!

Stroker: a story intended to make the reader masturbate; a story light on plot and not too deep intended to give the reader an autoerotic orgasmic relief.

Wanker: one who wanks, a person more concerned with autoerotic self relief than close interpersonal relationships, a loser, any member of the New York Yankees (see George Steinbrener); a story intended to make the reader masturbate (see Stroker).

Directed Wanker: one who is directed to masturbate; a story with no plot but merely a sex scene.

Bitch: a female dog; any person with a nasty disposition especially before the first cup of coffee of the day; a person of no quality or importance. Commonly used in reference to a woman, but often used towards men especially in sports when one athlete is completely outperforming another (He can't play with me, he's my bitch). An insult used to devalue the humanity of another human being, or as dirty talk during sex (yeah, that's it, suck me bitch).

Bastard: a person whose parents were not married at birth; a low, underhanded, sneaky, dispicable, untrustworthy, and generally horrible person (again, see Streinbrener). Most commonly used in reference to a man.

I don'y know about wankers. What I want to know about is what's up with the word Shite? Is this just a proper-noun version of shit? An affected archaism? An attempt to bring new life to the word by broadening the vowel?

Is this originally a UKism or what? If this lengthening of the vowel is endemic, are we soon going to see Bytche (long 'i') for Bitch? Are fook and coont waiting in the wings?

---dr.M.

 

[damppanties]

Shite: Same as shit but used by people who do not want to say shit.

 

[Quasimodem]

. . . what's up with the word Shite? Is this just a proper-noun version of shit? An affected archaism? An attempt to bring new life to the word by broadening the vowel? Is this originally a UKism or what? . . . are we soon going to see Bytche (long 'i') for Bitch? Are fook and coont waiting in the wings? ---dr.M.

"Shite" is the original Anglo-English spelling and pronunciation of the word. Although, it has been, until recently referenced as a less-rigorous archaic form, the elongated spelling has been recognized as the original, and lately been reinstated.

Indeed, rather than implying circumlocution, "shite" has been recalled to use in order to relieve the stress of that overworked term, adding emphasis when the more common version might disappear into the general background of invectives.

"Bitch," although a much over-employed, and multi-denotative term, has not been supplanted by "bytche," as of yet.

"Coont" as a new dictation for "cunt" is difficult to anticipate. Being so ambiguous in appearance, both as a word, and as an organ, that its direction is difficult to predict.

"Fook," on the other hand is, and has long been, the choice of discerning purists, both in pronunciation as well as in its physical spelling.

"Fuck," has only achieved popularity by reason of the hard "U" which gives the word higher visibility above the general clatter of any given sentence. In this fashion, "fuck" previously had seduced users into making that version the more common term.

Now, with general over employment, many discriminating potty-mouths are returning to the original, "fook" to keep their vile language pure.

I vote for Vincenzo's applications. Bravo, bello.

Mab., your query has long been on my mind. Love "bytche". I first heard shite when I went off to college in 1964 and thought it an academic affectation, though it does have a British sound.

Have to say, some of your other propositions sound Yorkshire to me.

Mack, I think it depends on whether one is from the north or south (in the UK, states, wherever).

I can't speak for the rest of the country, but round our way we say shite instead of shit. There is more to Northern England than just Yorkshire, believe it or not.

Also, "wanker" is a derogatory term.

 

[Quasimodem]

McKenna,

"Fook" should be pronounced to rhyme with book.

Anyone who pronounces "fook" to in any way sound like pool, is all wet!

Jack, you can probably blame me for Perdita thinking that 'The North' is Yorkshire.
We say shite in two main circumstances, when something disastrous occurs (Man U beating The Arse) or in disbelief (Jack Dee is funny? Shite.)

Fook and coont? if you take the OED's pronunciation guide then fook and coont are Northern ways of pronouncing fack and cant. (fuck and cunt) but surely the e on shite elongating the i implies adding an e and removing a the c making fuke and inserting the e making cunet (not cunnet).

Directed or freestyle wanking. Am I correct in thinking that directed would use film, reading, live action material as stimulus whereas freestyle would use only imagination?

Always makes me smile when research into women's sexual appetite includes answers to the question "Do you fantasise when making love?" Personally I'm too engrossed when 'making love' but I almost always fantasise when wanking. Oops sorry, I just realised; girls don't wank do they? Especially in questionnaires.
