So what does skank dancing actually involve? --Nick Douglas 02:41, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I think it means the same thing as the US version in the UK. It does in Ireland anyway.--Richy 17:55, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
You should add a list of skanks. Try Beyoncé Knowles, or The lady who sits next to me in the library's computer room, eating with her mouth open and using her cellphone. Just bullshitting. --Mr Robert L Thomas 23:51, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Even better, add Paris Hilton.
I did a search on Chloë Sevigny and was redirected here.

[edit] Definition of skank
I always thought a skank are typically shallow women, who are typically obsessed with celebrity lifestyle and emulating it and is also obsessed with material goods and dating men with well paid jobs purely for material gain (i.e. footballers) and shun those who dosen't. Also if they don't find themselves a rich man, they would take up lapdancing to fund their lifestyles. If that isn't then what is the definition of that description.
And I always thought skank referred to a woman younger than middle age who is easily sexually available and who might be somewhat sexually attractive but for an instinct on the part of the discriminating male. An instinctive belief that something about her repels from a coochie cootie hygiene point of view. Not that you know if she is carrying something unwholesome, but that her past sexual history, or her demeanor indicating that she is not sexually discriminating herself, might mean that you'll develop red bumps on your penis if you sleep with her. Shall we submit my laborious definition for consideration by the OED? What have we here? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/skank Seminumerical 09:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I thought skank was synonymous with 'Slut'
[edit] Removed commentary from article
I removed the text in bold:
-
- More recently in the UK has been used as a slang verb to pull ones trousers down - to skank someone WHATEV - Rachel Kirkensmall
Questioning that assertion is certainly legitimate, but should be done on the Talk page. Moreover, a more specific objection would have better chance of generating fruitful discussion. - PhilipR 01:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Offensive concepts should [must] be studied.

- Straw man argument. Offensiveness isn't the issue. Whether there is enough potential material on this subject to make an actual article is the issue. Robert A.West (Talk) 22:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction
The article gives two origins for the term, both of which cannot be the true origin. I cleaned up the expression of both, but do not know which (if either) is correct, so I added {{fact}} tags and a {{contradict}} tag to the beginning of the article.
- A bad smell or filthy surface.
- Menstruation.
Yes, one is given as the origin for the noun and the other for the present participle of the verb, but that is nonsense -- words don't evolve that way. Robert A.West (Talk) 12:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
i dont know if im adding to this talk section in the right way (i dont know if i should add or edit) but this needs to go. it's not cited and doesn't really make any sense since the two aren't really related. if either of these gets solved (basically supporting the claim through logic or through citation) it will be somewhat reasonable, but i say it gets deleted. 68.117.24.69 21:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC) ^^ oops, wasn't logged in. that was me. -Indalcecio 21:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction
A form of dance drawn specifically from ska music.
The present tense verb is skanking. Used in a sentence...I skanked all night long.
Original definition must be omited.
[edit] Skank (disambiguation)
Why have a Skank (disambiguation) page if this one has listings for two different terms? Why not list the rest of the on the page also?
