fanwink 

When the writers of a television show, movie, video game or other product include jokes that the audience will get based not on the show, but on outside knowledge. Actors meeting co-stars from previous series, saying famous lines, or put in familiar situations just to play to the base like an asexual form of fanservice.

An in-jokey shout out in a body of work. The type of thing that fans will catch, but everyone else will ignore. More obscure than a simple reference, more in-depth than an in-joke, but a unique kind of thing anyway.

The writers are, in effect, winking at their fans. Fankwink.

Wow, they really put "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" in the new Hulk movie? That's some Grade-A fanwink right there.

Fanwank

A term used in Doctor Who fiction to refer to any piece of work which reuses old monsters or characters purely in an attempt to stir feelings in the groins of sad anal fanboys.

Fan1 "In this new book, the Daleks, the Cybermen and Yartek team up to fight a war against the Doctor, UNIT and the Time-Lords. The Doctor finally defeats The Master on the planet Skaro with help from Leela, K9 and the Sonic Screwdriver."

Fan2 "Sounds like a load of fanwank to me!"

fanwank

To fill in plot holes or explain away lapses in continuity in fictional works by coming up with (often convoluted) explanations of how it could have happened.

"But David used Sarah's real name even though he never knew her before she changed her identity."

"He could have read her file. He had access to it in episode seventeen and there were a few minutes when he could have flicked through it."

The a farwinkle sprinkled on my chamber cereal! Thoust haveth the right nutritional value of logs and sugar toasted man-flakes!
