Slang Saturday

Today's GRE Word is:

Wanksta
A "wanksta" is a very basic word meaning a person who acts/looks like a gangster or thug, but has never done anything gangster or thug-like besides acting or looking like one. It can be towards any race or ethnicity. The word does NOT imply a WHITE guy acting black.
Al Capone is a GANGSTA - white guy
Ja Rule is a WANKSTA - black guy

Comments:
A very nice derivative of the britishism "wanker". The metaphor is taken from masturbation.
