That feeling you get when a picture frame is just a *little* bit off-center. Or when your eyeliner wings don't match. Or when you build something from IKEA and there's a slight wobble. 'Wangki-wangki' is the state of being slightly, annoyingly crooked. It's the enemy of anyone with mild OCD.
Possibly from Hokkien Chinese.
