    I would say Winker nor Winkor but English isn’t my first language so let’s see what the consensus is for this matter.

          -ar is a person that does a thing. -er is a person that does action of a thing. A winkar in practice is a winker, but a winker isn’t necessarily a winkar.

          But a winkee is definitely someone subjected to a wink, whether by a winkar or a just a normal person winking.

    Only if they come from Wink, Winkler County, Texas. Otherwise they are just sparkling eyelead carrier and receiver.

    I just saw an episode of 8oo10cdc where Suzy Dent specifically said these aren’t words. My money’s on Suzy.
