Skank is a slang, pejorative term used in the United States to describe an extremely unattractive or promiscuous female. [1] It can also refer to how a woman is dressed. [2] Skanks are typically shallow women, some are obsessed with celebrity lifestyle and emulating it can also be obsessed with material goods. This term is distinct from slut in that it usually implies a slovenly or ill-featured woman. Originally a the term denoting a bad smell or a filthy surface[citation needed], "skank" has come to refer to someone who is physically repugnant for their filth, and figuratively applied to someone who is morally or socially repugnant for their behavior and demeanor, most often sexual conduct.[3]
Skank also refers to a type of dance, usually to ska or punk rock music. In this dance, one kicks up his/her feet, like they were running or walking in place.
