  • help - my wang is broken

    ok... first i saw it started with OP, then Grifter, the kampf...
    I must have missed the IRC session where wang was introduced, or reintroduced... but so far I am in still a confuzzled state as to the true meaning of wang in the usage that it is brought here... most sources online dictate that wang isn't necessarily a good thing, though the usage here seems to reverse the thought processes involved... :/

    wang (wanger) (n)
    An unsuccessful person; a fool; a loser. Anyone who attends University of Flordia is a wang. The gators football team are a bunch or wangers. [University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, 1998]
    --http://www.csupomona.edu/~jasanders/slang/csrpw.htm

    wang, wangy: Objectionable taste in food or drink.
    Example: I think this tea is old. It's got a wang to it.
    --http://www.slangsite.com/slang/W.html

    wang:
    [early 1900s] the penis. See penis or cock for Synonyms.
    --http://www.hurricane.net/~wizard/19w.html

    .... unclear, though hopeful, I had begun to use it here:
    http://forum.defcon.org/showthread.p...7043#post17043
    for the first time in my life... though notice that I certainly dictate that I am unsure of its origin and usage, though it does appear to be correctly used, I could be incorrect...
    Is this a new fad, or some kind of trick?

    Where did this meaning (used here on the forums) originate?

    What does it mean?

    Why does it appear to be mean the oppsosite of what most usages of the word wang mean (see references above)

    If this indeed is a new word with a new usage it should be added somewhere for useful reference :)
    nevertheless, someone please fix my wang, it is broken. I wish to be wangified in the wangiest way wanged of...

    The term has been used on and off here in the realm of Utah for many years, but recent posts have brought to light the ambiguous nature of the term, it's history and proper usage.

    Wang, as it's been used so far, is a term that applies to a non-measurable amount of, well, coolness. Your third definition possibly comes the closest to the understood usage, as most people seem to accept that it has a certain relation to manliness, or perhaps even masculinity, as opposed to being a straight up small-cocked jackass.

    Take for example a car, say a Geo Metro. A Metro is a small, fuel efficient car that has no semblance or even overture of wang. Only a modified Japanese version with AWD and turbo approaches a good standing in "wangdom". Following is a conversation that could happen, and might potentially have at some point in time:

    Dude1: "Man, i need a car that get's good gas mileage and seats four. I've been thinking about a Metro"

    Dude2: "Man, Metros lack wang. Get an Asspirate (Ford Aspire) before you get a Metro. At least the Asspirate has some wang."

    Wang can also be measured in -tang, as in "wow, this stereo has a lot of wangtang". This denotes that the object specified not only has wang, but more than even a normally wangified object.

    note that http://www.wangtang.com has nothing to do with this usage, though those are some cute kids...

    So, i hope this clears up the confusion a bit for anyone not quite sure what wang actually represents.

    Thank you and good night.

      Thank you kampf, wondeful definition and usage examples! I have added wang, and it's suffixes to my vocabulary library... though this must beg the question if wang has any prefixes... such as uber- in uberwang... and could be used with such previously defined suffix such as -tang, or -dom... such that something could be defined as uberwangdom: with such usage as: "damn, brad did you check out kevin's pimp-pad?! it is an uberwangdom!"

      ... oh and to mention the immediate (d)evolvement of wang into \x/4/\/6 and/or w4N6 and all that surrounds such wang-speak...

      Thanks for your help :)

        Any of the common prefixes, such as your example of uber-, are completely valid, though i highly recommend private testing before using them in the field, as they may not go over as well with others as they do in your head.

        As with any catchy or "buzz" word that us "techie" types use, keep in mind that moderation is key in retaining the purity and longevity of a term, so please use it wisely.

        Go forth and spread the word.

          I have to say, from reading the above statements and doing quite a bit of laughing out loud. This thread has much wang. i do however have one gripe. The above post could have been ended with:

          "Go forth and spread the wang"

          That is all.

                lol...
                As a member of the People's Republic of China, it might amuse you that the mandarin chinese meaning of "wang", to my understanding, is king. This is stemming from "guo wang" which means the king of a country or domain. My assumptions are that the roots of this term you, BW, have added to your vocabulary has chinese roots.

                Would you like an eggroll with that?

                        Localisation

                        I'll submit the Irish 'langer' (never truncated to 'lang'), which was roughly analogous to 'wang' (in the penile sense) when I first heard it c.1989.

                        I really do dredge up some obscure shit.

                          When I was young, I used to spend hours locked in my room, playing with my wang .

                            That sounded wrong! The motherboard is huge on that thing and it is soo slow. It is hard to imagine how you people worked with machines like that. The ancient computer deffinently lacks wang.

                              Bah. Youngun. The ancient computer's where it's at! Why, that wang is advanced compared to a PDP-8, or an IMSAI (you can buy brand-new IMSAIs from here by the way), an IBM 360 series.

                              People that didn't have to write their programs by hand, have them punched, and submit the stack to an operator through a half-door at University had programming class easy.


                              Stop by the Computer Museum at NASA-Ames sometime, pick up the 5MB hard drive platter (careful! It's got a four-foot diameter and it's about 50 lbs!), or stare at the room-filling Johnnivac and realize your digital watch has more computing power, then tell me about "ancient".
