Acronym for "Phil Is A Wanker”. PIAW originated in 1998 at Griffith University, Australia as an insult to a microelectronic engineering student by the name of Philip. It was generally assumed that the student in question regularly masturbated because of his inability to find a woman. PIAW has since evolved into a generic insult with one notable derivation being DIAW, an acronym for “Davide Is A Wanker”.
