Since high school and beyond, my friends and I have used it to mean dirty, disgusting, gross, nasty, etc. However, nothing sexual is implied. For example, a friend of mine describes her boyfriend as looking like a skank when he shows up unshaven, unwashed, and in clothes he's slept in the night before. This is acceptable usage, in my opinion. It's come to my attention, though, that the world in general uses the word skank as a synonym for slut, or more aptly, crackwhore. Not just a woman who sleeps around but who is dirty and disease-ridden. What do you think? |
. but Skankin' Pickle is a goofy SKA band. |
|
skank: Dirty, nasty-looking woman--haven't had a shower forever. Example: Did you see the skank who just came in. The horror! The horror! . skank: Undescribable ailment. Example: I must have caught some sort of skank at school. I feel like hell. . Apparently it also means "To dance to SKA music." |
|
ie: more dirty then a regular "ho." |

"I've got my skanky pants on" Think Aretha Franklin's Pink Cady video - the leather? pants with the gaps in them. "Lets go out skanking" To go out and dirty dance and tease boys. |
But we had this male patient that came into the psych hospital about a year ago, and while I was getting report on him from the day nurse,[we always describe what behaviors got the patient admitted], she tells us that one of the things he was doing,[he was not gay], was giving blow-jobs for $7.00 I blurted out "Wow,thats a bargain!!!!!!!!" You could have heard a pin drop. I didn't know, I just always asumed that sex was more expensive than that. They quickly informed me that the usual price was $10.00. So to cover my tracks, and not seem "sex for hire" illiterate, I spoke up in the patients defense, and said,"Yes I know, but how enterprising of him to undercut the competition by $3.00!" I think they fell for it. I guess I don't spend enough time on the streets. They should have reference material about these types of things, handy on the unit, so people like me don't make asses of themselves, in front of my peers. How was I to know? FYI, that is not the only reason he was admitted, he was indeed sick. One of his behaviors was that he was saving his feces in zip-lock bags and giving it to his family, and doing other disturbing things. But I liked him. And I do think that was a clever marketing strategy. $7.00 still sounds like a bargain to me. I don't know if he could be catagorized as a skank or not.[but I hope he doesn't bring us any home-made treats at X-mas time, cause usually its cookies and cakes and stuff like that, but I would be suspicious of any treat that arrives in zip-lock bags from him] |
Fuckin A, as far as I know thats a fuckin bargain and a half. And no he wouldn't be a skank, he'd be a Cheap Man-Hooker. |

And yes, of course, "skank" has strong connotations of both sexual and female, besides the agreed upon unwashed. Now about that rate.... |
anybody remember the fishbone song "skankin' to the beat"? we already have a dr. pepper on the boards, so you 're not allowed to call yourself by the name of a soft drink. |
|
I think what happened is that alternative radio forgot about them. |
|
one of my favorite musical moments was seeing every musician in fishbone perform totally naked in the union at michigan state university in 1989. |
