Usage tip
Highly offensive in its literal sexual sense (British vulgar slang). In its non-sexual sense as a dismissive command ('spunk off!' = 'go away!'), it is still considered very crude and rude. Not appropriate for formal or professional contexts. ESL learners should be aware of this term but avoid using it.
