Word of the Day

I had Francophone call the store just now, asking for the definition of the word "wanking". He couldn't find it in the dictionary, you see. 

When I stopped laughing*, I gave him a carefully worded definition, and told him that maybe he could get better information from the Internet, and not a bookstore.

*He knew I wasn't laughing at him, BTW-- I think he got what the word meant from the context of the book he was reading.
