Wichser
What does “Wichser” mean in English?
It's an insult that translates to 'person who masturbates,' akin to calling someone a wanker. It's not usually a literal accusation about someone's sexual habits.
Literally “person who masturbates”
You'd use it as a directed insult, similar to how you'd throw around 'wanker' in English. It's quite offensive and carries a strong tone, primarily used in Germany.

The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
