Someone that thinks they're 'cool' but in reality is a total knob jockey. A smug, satisfying real English term to call someone you intensely dislike without resorting to the word "cunt"!
He persisted on calling our game 'soccer' when it's really football. What a wanker.

Wankers can't be trusted with their own dicks let alone anyone elses.

A complete tosser. Someone who makes as little effort as they can possibly get away with. In British English that's what "wanker" means - it does not literely mean a masterbater (though doubt he is one). Just as "he's a bugger" does not literally mean he commits sodomy...
"He's just a wanker. I told him to clear up and, two hours later, he was still just sitting there reading the paper and picking his nose"

The U.K. equivalent of the U.S. noun "jerk", in that they both originated in calling someone a masturbator but have long since evolved into a general way of describing one as an unintelligent, nasty fool. "Wanker" most often means dolt or moron whereas "jerk" more often implies malevolence.
The bloody wanker can't even follow my most basic instructions.
