That is simply beautiful. I'm guessing a wankpuffin is similar to a ****-knuckle?

 

So good I copied it twice, it would seem

My wife nailed it perfectly. It's the sort of insult Shakespeare would have coined.

Thou art nothing but a poxy knave and a wankpuffin, sir!

Discovered ****nubbin a while ago... That's f**knubbin as I bet it doesn't pass the swear filter.

Apparently it means idiot, pillock etc.

Edit: Actually, it means to be oblivious to upset caused to others by your choice of words, thanks to an egotistical nature...

Wankpuffin and Juliet would have made me pay more attention when we had to read it at school, that's for sure!

It would appear that teenagers are unable to complete a sentence without the word "like" in it (at least once).  Plus..... the adjective "amazing" is so over used.

True. But do they overuse "wankpuffin"? I think we should be told.

I was delighted to learn (from the OED) that you can be gruntled, as well as disgruntled.

Fantastic news. Good to know that a PG Wodehouse joke has made the OED.

That's the great thing about English - a fast developing language and new words added all the time (unlike French). If enough people use the word wankpuffin it will make the OED in a year or three. Keep it going......

And it's not just that. The word 'said' has been universally replaced with the phrase 'was like'...

"I was like, What are you doing here?' And she was like, 'I came to do some shopping'."

Wankpuffin translated into French is actually Wankpuffin but said with an accent

You're not really trying are you? 

I believe the literal translation is: branleur des macareux. There's probably a suitable idiom but I don't know it. If only I knew an actual French person to ask.

That's very acute, Tone. It would have been a grave mistake to get that wrong.

 

Buggère moi! I can't think of a circumflex joke :(

You sir are an ignoramus of the highest order believing the French language to be moribund .
