Members kwakatak Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 ... I went and put strings on my Kramer and have been wanking for the past week. Here I thought I'd grown up! Instead, I've got this pointy 80's relic plugged into my tube amp and have it so loud that I make my little boy cry! His mother would not be amused! BTW - I'd forgotten how frustrating it was to keep electric guitars in tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, FWIW I stop as soon as his face kind of starts to crimp up or he holds his ears. I've got a Hot Rod Deluxe and fully realize that it's too much amp to play in the house.

Members kwakatak Posted September 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 Well, he got me back: he locked me out of the house last night and I had to go to the neighbors to call my wife to come home and let me in.

Members theGOOCH Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 I love playing my guitar, but It has never made me wank before:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kwakatak Posted September 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 LOL - you're a perv, GOOCH! BTW - wanking is what the kids do in Guitar Center. Even at my age I'm not immune to it but I'm playing some oooollllllld songs and should probably stretch before dive-bombing on the Floyd Rose. I haven't played Panama in years and may have just hurt myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a Strat that I occasionally plug into my HRD. It's the only time I can stand in front of the soundhole [amp] while I play. I play mostly clean so I don't have to crank it too much. I don't know much about torturing the kid or this wanking thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanking on your guitar would be rather disgusting LOL P.S The term "fanny pack" raises a few eyebrows among Brits since a fanny means something very different over there!

Members Michael Martin Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 I may have started all this in an earlier post today, in a different thread, having described the guy in the movie "Sideways" "wanking on" about pinot noir. I got that usage from blogger Tim Blair, I think, who is an Aussie. He has used the phrase "wanking on" to describe someone prattling pointlessly about something insignificant. I also sense that the Brits call someone a "wanker" in much the same way as people of the place and time of my youth (Atlanta GA, 1970s/80s) might have called someone a "jerkoff". It didn't really refer to the actual act of frank-spanking; it was just a general-purpose medium-grade insult. Only directed at other males, of course. Thanks to Gooch for the highly informative links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a 2 they are not stupid. He doesn't have to lock me out of the house to play my guitars - even if alrady has a couple of his own. Sometimes when I'm playing he'll mute the strings, which gives me the impression that he may grow up to be a music critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, ...and thanks I do what I can:D It could save you an embarassing conversation if you ever visit the UK. I can imagine my step-dad's response if someone mentioned wanking on their guitar: "Pardon?" Smoking a fag, however isn't nearly as scandalous as it sounds ...oh and I like the phrase "frank spanking" LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
