"Wanking" and "Gooning" have vastly different meanings, in their context and nuance.

Gooning is really about the visual stimulation, the content being viewed. You goon at or to something.

Wanking on the other hand (or with the same hand perhaps) is purely about the physical act of grabbing your cock and jerking it.

Besides that, there are more subtle differences. Gooning implies prolonged and leisurely, for example, while wanking does not.

You'd never say you had a "quick goon," but you could certainly say you had a "quick wank."

So don't worry, wanking isn't dying out any time soon.

Why have I not read this sooner? My life is changed. This is genius. Banks hate it.

You Philistines need to learn nuance

A cheeky wank is worlds apart from a thorough goon

Hmmmm, tough decision, while I like the word wanker, that wankers telling me to save it and if he's telling me to do something, then it must be wrong.

I can't help feel the use of the word gooner to replace wanker is the result of a very long winded practical joke by Tottenham fans.

Fun fact: there's a dent in his forehead you can see reflected in studio lighting sometimes. Allegedly, that dent is from the time Jeremy Clarkson punched him.

Never mind gooning, I worry that the art of mooning is on the way out and will be lost.
