I had thought of a wag in a slightly different meaning but looking it up I guess prankster is a preferred on.

Maybe its too much wonkery on my parts.

Maybe its time to dog the wags....
 
What does it normally mean in the US? Sure, it's a prankster, but your post makes it seem like you thought it meant something else?

I don't think its a US thing. I think its a more an inside the beltway thing. I've heard it mean someone who panders for attention. Its like "talking head" but more defamatory and more of a sense of unworthiness.
 
You don't hear it much here, so I was just curious 🙂

To be perfectly honest, this is one of the few times I've heard the word, so as far as I'm concerned it could mean anything really 🙄
 
Well I have heard English use it the same as "Joker" but the normal NZ usage would surely be to "wag" school? and since it I am talking NZ'er is it should be "pommies" not english🙂

But white Island lol if it had said fiordland I might have beleived it for a least a second.
 
Oh yeah, wagging school, completely forgot about that one - and I did it today 😱

I live in Whakatane, which is in the the same bay as the island, and is where a lot of tours depart from. People go over there a lot, so I find the story believable.
 
No as in Dinosaur Live or Dinosaur bones, Since white island isnt very old and I had to think about something for the time it took for the story to chug down the internet , Barney didnt occur to me
