I get the British slang, "wonky," and "wanky" confused.
 
I guess they mean essentially the same thing.
 
I first came across wonky in one of the episodes of that priceless
BBC series, "Keeping Up Appearances," when the TV repairman
comes into the Bucket (pronounced bouquet) home and asks if
there is a "wonky" television set.
 
The two terms are among those in English in which the sound of
the spoken word evokes the meaning.
