Who came up with this term "Wang"?

[DTCwordfan]

and "wanger"?

Is this AB language (and ought to be incorporated into the Apotheosic lexicon). or is it Urban Dictionary speak?

[boxtops]

DT, it was designed by our lexicographer Bednobs, in reference to a certain bloke who is behaving like, well, a wang. Excellent word. Wanger is a derivative and I don't like it as well as wang, which is a good noun, and we all know what it means! (Wanger's a bit too much like something else, too!)

In my early years of golf we used to say give it a good wang, as in hit the ball hard and far, but where that came from sorry no idea

Lol my first job we had wangs, and how wrong does that sound

Doesn't work well as an insult tho, i just tried it out on fatty and he just looked puzzeled

[DTCwordfan]

thanks all - there does seem to be a fair amount of "wangs" recently, behind the fair women of this site. Is there a female version like wange that I could apply to my ex?

Perhaps Barmaid will elaborate on this?

Does it translate into French?

When I was very young we used the word "wang" to mean throw (as in "welly wanging")

Nowadays I thought it meant, ahem, a gentleman dog's "lipstick"

wellie 'wang'ing is a sport, wang is a nice name for a willy, but in the terms of a certain amoeba 'man' (though at present no term can correctly sum him up) and his actions wang is the best word

[firewatch]

oh and thereis the village of wetwang notable for its chariot buriels

I've heard a few farmers shout "Get off my land you wanger" whilst out metal detecting

[askyourgran]

We used to wang a ball when playing rounders. Perhaps the originator was being polite and left out the 'k'.

It's been around for quite a while -
"wang - "penis," 1933, slang, probably from whangdoodle, an earlier term for "gadget, thing for which the correct name is not known." Many such words (thingy, dingus, etc.) have been used in slang for "penis," not because the actual name was unknown, but because it was unmentionable. Another possibility is that the slang word is a variant of whang "large, thick slice" (1630s)

Julie Andrews wrote a childrens' book about the whangdoodles, and allegedly was surprised to find that this word had a similar meaning in the US.

[venator]

that definition came from here - http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=wang

Look methyl, you ain't a member of the AB Church - Boxie and I are amongst others - we need an adjective of a noun, so Apotheosic will do us very well.

Lol
