A wally is a pillock
English for US Speakers-People, Professions, Insulting Names
A plonker is 'a very light hearted insult. Its not even seen as an insult, its like calling someone a wally. Its in no way meant maliciously. you call someone a plonker when they say or do something stupid.' Gained popularity after a UK sitcom Only Fools & Horses.
Urban Dictionary: plonker

Clearer now?

Now that IS rude, unlike wally & plonker which are almost affectionate.

a Wally is a foolish or inept person, used in brit and aussie english.Crocodile Dundee´s mate was called Wally, you can probably work out why.Plonker too usually means a stupid person although it can mean penis in the sense of pulling it. Neither is very strong and usually used affectionately. Twat in polite company is not a good idea as it could mean, if someone knows 17th century english, a term of contempt for a person. It is now used as a term for female genitalia. All clear or clear as mud ?
