h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's the maiden name of Peggy, the wife on "Married, With Children". Episodes where she visits her family are filled with repetition of the word and I still have no idea how that got by the censors.

Thank you for this, it has put a goofy grin on my face, which may well stay there all morning.

In the sci-fi comedy series 'Mork and Mindy'. their landlord's name was Mr Wanker. fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer might be familiar with Thomas Wanker, the composer.

Also in Buffy you get Spike saying all sorts of things to try and convince us he's British. (but when he was human he was a wuss anyway, so wouldn't have been talking like that)

ooops, my mistake. I thought this might be a conversation about David Letterman.

(Laughing out loud!)

It could be! What do you want to say about David Letterman?

I think that the implication was that he was a w****r. Unless it's word he frequently uses (I doubt this, but am from england so wouldn't really know)

He's a W****r.

Not as much as Conan O'Brien, who makes me proud to be British.

But Lettemann is definitely a W****r.

Allegedly.
