Definition
A portmanteau of "wannabe" and "gangsta" describing someone who talks tough but whose most rebellious act was probably jaywalking once. This person owns every Wu-Tang album but lives in their parents' basement in the suburbs. Essentially, all bark and zero street credentials.
Example Usage
Chad keeps throwing up gang signs, but he's such a wanksta—he drives a Prius and his mom still packs his lunch.
