Another word for tosser, which is usually reffered to when someone is being a tool or a complete dick. The term is usually asscossiated with one who masturbates regularly. Often reffered to as having a wank, hence the term wanker (one who wanks). -

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]

A man that enjoys [masturbation] also a common insult.

While to [wank] means to masturbate, the term wanker is seldom if ever used in British slang to denote one who wanks. It is quite wrong to infer from somebodys being a wanker that they in fact wank (and vice versa), but of course, fair to assume they do in any case. Herein lies the genius of the insult: if you call someone a wanker, its probably true, but only literally.
I suppose it all originates from our repressed Victorian sexualities, from back when everybody thought they were the only ones to suffer the secret shame of being an actual wanker.
Most children these days learn the word wanker long before they learn its literal meaning.
