What does the word "skank" mean?

[~*Belle 2003*~]

I'm guessing it's not very complimentary!

 

[Amberle3]

In the same vein as: low-class, trashy, loose

 

[ChefBilly]

Excuse my terminology, but if you want to know... It means "Slut. Or *****."
But it's also a style of dance people to to ska or reggae. "Skankin'."

I'm guessing it's not very complimentary!

Where I'm from "skank" was even worse than "slut", although it was basically the same concept.

 

[Hippychickali]

It's the same as Diiiiirty. (For more information, see Christiana Agulera.)

Ali

 

[WDWHound]

Its greek for "Fuzzy Pits"

 

[lulugirl]

It's the same as Diiiiirty. (For more information, see Christiana Agulera.)

He,he,he...that made me laugh! You can also substitute the word skeevy.

Think of the most undesirable attributes of Paris Hilton and Linda Tripp - and roll them into one individual.

 

[Crankyshank]

A skank is a slut with even looser morals, no personal hygeine, and most likely has a career goal to be in adult movies.

 

[MsDisney23]

I don't think it mean's anything good.

 

[yeartolate]

I'm guessing it's not very complimentary!

Ummmm, why are you asking?

 

[MScott1851]

OMG. I can't believe this is a thread topic.

We've had some pretty mundane things on here, but "skank" is definitely one of the funniest.

I don't have enough time to type all the things I consider skanky. I can show you a picture of some famous skanks..

(Actually, disregard Avril Lavigne. I like her. But the other ones? Definitely skank-worthy.)

 

[~*Belle 2003*~]

I get the idea what it means now!

 

[yeartolate]

MScott - so except for Avril, all your pictures are of skanks?

 

[Jenn Lynn]

Skank=Colin Farrell

 

[grinningghost]

If you're called one, you should probably dig a hole and jump in.

I'm pretty sure you weren't called one Belle2003. You're far from skanky from what I can tell.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Skank=Colin Farrell

OOOOH, Jenn, I so agree! Why do people find him attractive? I think he's dirty. Ick.

 

[MScott1851]

Ooh.. I totally forgot about male skanks.

That opens up a whole new can of worms, so to speak!


Yeartolate..not sure what you're implying. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.
