A term in reference to larger women who belive they are sexy. It comes from the fact that
good mates will pay £

lender) in return for having sex with someone exceptionally fat. Often predatory, they tend to pick on young lonely males. There BMI is over 30 and they tend to be between the ages of 27 and 40.

Strange because nobody heard it until it was on TV.
Popularised in 2009 by some random dude on the Envirfone advert. Where you send them your old phone for
WONGA!
You can get £50, £100 or maybe even £150!
which helps the environment but doesnt explain how...

Example:
-"Got an old mobile phone?"
- "Ancient! So last year!"
-"Want some money for it?"
-Dosh,
-Readies,
-WONGA!!"
"

FIFTY POUNDS!"
-"Coooooool!"
