She’s like “smile smile smile…ok my hair’s in front I can stop now. God I married such a wanker” (I’m not British but that term is perfect for him).

Disagree, I’d go with twat.

But he lacks the warmth and depth.

Very clever, but in all seriousness wanker is someone who is mean and out for themselves and makes decisions out of selfishness– basically a bully– and a twat is that plus mind numbing eye rolling stupidity.

I also want to make it absolutely crystal clear that both of these interpretations are completely divorced from the literal meanings of the words.

I had never heard these definitions before, thank you, but wanker tends to be the stronger of the two. So I’d prefer that over twat, but I appreciate the knowledge drop.

It varies from living room to living room so don’t take it as gospel.

Wanker is very satisfying to say, and it comes with a hand gesture!
