Unfortunately, "wankerous" has already been coined, but it's still a wonderful word that should be spread around. One of the best uses of it that I've tracked down so far is in a song called "Good Afternoon:"
I have already written up a poem for my Sunday microdose (it was too much fun to wait - I jotted it down on a bit of paper in my pocket as I worked on chores!). I'll still be crediting you with introducing me to the term... I will am looking forward to enjoying your poems in a few hours, once the chores are finally completed for the day ...
From the trailer that looks like it would be a lot of fun actually, even if some of the jokes seem a bit forced. The 'wankerous cantankerous buffoon' sounds very Gilbert & Sullivan. My spellcheck is still redlining it though, so clearly the powers-that-shouldn't-be haven't caught up with that one yet!
It's considered slang. I don't know if spellcheckers recognize slang as proper English, but if not, they should. Sooner or later, if enough people use it, a slang word will be christened as a "real" word by the Oxford English Dictionary.
Lovely poems, full of emotion... you are much braver than I, I tend towards doggerel, towards things that make me laugh, when I write "poetry." You write the real thing, though.
Thank you! Ironically, Ali's kind of poetry is probably the same as yours - really funny little ditties that make you smile and laugh. I'm the one who tends to do the serious stuff!
Wankerous is an awesome word. I'll help spread it around!
Ali liked it too! Spread the word! Spread the word!
It will be my personal prompt word for tomorrow, then. 😎

"The lyrics are catchy and easy to sing along to even with their creative phrases like 'wankerous cantankerous buffoon...'" (https://eagleviewnews.com/2022/12/12/spirited-is-a-surprisingly-dark-christmas-carol/)
