Derivation of the root word, wanker, to imply the offending speaker as English in origin.
Derivation of the root word, wanker, to imply the offending speaker as English in origin.
The English speakers of the world have an uncanny ability to completely bastardise another language's lexicon, making it wholly impossible for foreigners to learn English at all.
Example:
El Guapo: Jefe, would you say I have a PLEthora of pinatas?
Jefe: Yes, El Guapo. You have a PLEthora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a PLEthora?
Jefe: A PLEthora is a word whose pronounciation was wankerfied when it was borrowed from the Greek word of the same spelling, but changed the accent stress to the first syllable, causing the fall of Ancient Greece to the Romans. It's "pleh-THOR-ah" not "PLEH-thor-ah," El Guapo.

"What? Advice on hiking? Sure. If you encounter a hostile animal, cast a lulling spell and quickly leave the area. If you have no mana, pretend to be dead. Even as the animal tears into your flesh with its menacing teeth and claws, pretend to be dead. Keep pretending to be dead until you are dead. You had your chance and you blew it. Oh! And watch out for scorpions! They can teleport, spear you, and spit fire. Remember, hiking in public parks at night can be dangerous, partly because of the lack of light, and also partly because of the rapists. Don't go hiking at night without a drunken member of the opposite sex and certainly not in Central Park during Chanukah, because that’s when the freaks come out."
