Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 13, 2016 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

BrianUK so a band called "the wankers" is a variation on a band called "the humpers", essentially? i think here it's used to mean "self-gratification".
(please excuse me people, i like to know the correct meaning of things!)

I think the self abuse refers back to Onan who spilled his seed and that was not necessarily self gratification.

Origin of "wank" is unknown. Could be "echoic," claims Eric Partridge in his 1951 slang dictionary. I'd never heard of "wanker's doom," which is "disability caused by excessive masturbation." Great band name, though.
