Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

(especially (US)) a wrench with a ring-shaped jaw with internal serrations which grip onto a nut or bolt.
A bluntly humorous British insult describing someone as extremely ugly. Spanners (wrenches) are hard, angular, metallic tools that when jumbled in a bag make an irregular, clunking, unappealing mess — an unflattering comparison to a face. The expression is vivid, deliberately over-the-top, and typically delivered with dark wit rather than genuine cruelty. It belongs to a British tradition of colourful insult similes (face like a slapped arse, face like a bulldog chewing a wasp). Mostly informal and usually not said to someone's face.
(Internet slang, humorous) Exclamation of surprise or disbelief.
(internet slang) Having been put in a dreadful or embarrassing situation; can range from being pwned in a game to being utterly defeated in an argument or publicly shamed with a stinging insult.
