Well, I'd still say 'flippant'. Or 'facetious', as someone else said. 'w*ker' is rather broad - it can refer to a whole variety of behaviours, and of course is subjective. Some people (in fact quite a lot of people in the UK) enjoy other people's flippancy, and they'd use terms like 'hilarious' or 'brilliant' rather than 'w*ker'.
Yeah, but then the people who'd say this guy was 'hilarious' or 'brilliant' could also no doubt be described as w*kers!

In my hometown in the north of england, the most likely word begins with "C" and rhymes with punt. We are very sophisticated in debate 
.
With the optional addition, in face to face conversation with this kind of person, of the words "do you want a slap?"

Sounds like that could be Newcastle way?

Absolutely - if you're inclined to think of the guy as a w*ker, you'd also be inclined to think of his admirers as w*kers. And they'd probably think you were a w*ker for sitting in judgement of their communication style (while they sit in judgement of your communication style) and so the w*ker wars would begin!
