"wanker, jerk-off"

Someone who wastes time and accomplishes nothing — the implication being that masturbation is all they're good for. It's less about the sexual act and more about calling someone lazy, useless, and pathetic. The feminine form 'branleuse' exists but is used far less frequently.

Directed at someone shirking work or responsibility. 'C'est un branleur, il fait rien de sa vie' — he's a wanker, he does nothing with his life.
