Is "masturbate" going out of fashion?

[CaptainWacky]

Not the act, but the word. You don't hear it much anymore. It's always "wank" or "fap" or "JACK OFF" or something. I prefer masturbate because it sounds classier. Like something gentlemen would do. Do the kids think it's too formal? Fuck the kids! I mean, fornicate with the kids. Wait, I don't mean that. Fuck them. Yeah. So. Let's re-introduce the word "masturbate" to the internet somehow. I'll do some research.

I'm just glad Americans have finally figured out that "wanking off" is bad English.

Is that like when you put a spin on a ball?

In my experience, most Americans don't understand wank, wanking, wanker, etc in colloquial usage. :S:

I have no opinion on wanking, but I do know TK would be better off with pole dancing & strippers.

So how many for "rubbing the little man in the boat"?
How about "choking the chicken" or "mashing the button"?
