Thank you everyone for help me with my question.

However, I always look up in the dictionary before I ask questions here.

When you are learnig second language,
sometimes the dictionary doesn't help,
since a word or phrase reflect the culture or personal humor or anything that the person involved.

So I always appreciate your help.

Answer 1

wanton
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from wan- deficient, wrong, mis- (from Old English, from wan deficient) + towen, past participle of teen to draw, train, discipline, from Old English tEon -- more at TOW
1 a archaic : hard to control : UNDISCIPLINED, UNRULY b : playfully mean or cruel : MISCHIEVOUS
2 a : LEWD, BAWDY b : causing sexual excitement : LUSTFUL, SENSUAL
3 a : MERCILESS, INHUMANE b : having no just foundation or provocation : MALICIOUS
4 : being without check or limitation: as a : luxuriantly rank b : unduly lavish : EXTRAVAGANT
- wan·ton·ly adverb
- wan·ton·ness /-t&n-n&s/ noun

So basically, it's an uncontrolled, unjust destruction of whatever the quote was talking about.

Answer 2

it does not have to do with drugs.
Wanton means "without motivation or purpose"
Annihilation means "total destruction"

So basically, the quote
"Nothing like a bit of wanton annihilation to brighten up the day"
means
"Nothing like a bit of purposeless total destruction to brighten up the day"

Answer 3

Off the top of my head I'd say wanton means, with abandon or disregard. annihilation means, utter and complete destruction. I could look it up in the dictionary and quote that for you, but why don't you do that yourself?

Answer 4

There are some phrases that are hard to explain because they use humor that some people may not understand. In this case, the reference is to the flash of bombs exploding.

Answer 5

It is getting rid of or killing off all humans or animals, maybe of one species, without being justified in any way for what you have done--doing it maliciously and without feeling

Answer 6

You look up each word by itself, then put the definitions together.

In this case "merciless destruction" fits well.

Answer 10
