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 other contributors are correct in the literal meaning of the word as "one who masturbates", however in Australia, it is used more like a slightly more vulgar synomym for words like fool or idiot
