"jerk off"

British slang for masturbation, but far more versatile than that suggests. 'Having a wank' is literal; 'what a load of wank' means something is terrible; 'wanky' describes something pretentious. The word does more work than it has any right to.

As a dismissal: 'That presentation was a load of wank.' As literal: obvious. As an adjective: 'That wine bar is a bit wanky.'
