The definition of a skank?

[mattylondon]

This word is used quite a lot on this forum. Therefore, I'd be interested to learn if other punters recognise this term and to who it applies?

As I've posted on another thread, I do think this applies to some women in the business and my definition is the following:

A Service Provider who appears to be physically malnourished, grossly obese, ugly, who has no regards to her own personal hygiene or that of others and who takes unnecessary risks with certain services. For example, bareback penetration, hard sports and water sports. In a slightly wider context, a liar, thief and a fraud. Generally described by many, including yours truly, as a 'low life'.   

[helmsdale]

Any prossie who looks like Amy Winehouse is my working definition

[Aldaman]

I would add a heavy drug / alcohol user.

I don't believe being ugly puts you in with the skanks 

[dilettante]

I'd say anyone whose working practices lead them to compromise the levels of hygiene, personal accountability and good service, possibly in pursuit of financial gain, which a fully-dedicated professional would otherwise eschew.

But that's just my definition - I just made it up.

Uglies are also skank if they are so ugly that you want to puke in their faces.

I'd never heard of the music reference.

Where I come from it has 2 meanings;

1. To be skanked - meaning to be ripped off
2. Skanky or a skank - something / someone that is filthy

I tend to think of a skank WG as one who has an allergy to cleaning products. The B&S gangs would fall nicely into this definition, the stunning, young babe who turns out to be a stinking old munter who provides crap service. Both definitions covered by one girl.

[cjkanye02]

I think the phrase "a bit skanky" is reasonable. You don't want someone who fits that definition above, but an air of dirtyness is definetly an appealing trait in a woman.

This is more the case in a classy woman. I love women who have that balance between sexy, classy, dirty, playful.

[whiterussian]

a skunk from the east end.

[overhead]

I thought the skanks were the ones in parlours that go from punter to punter without a break.

[dandaley]

tattooed false lashed barbies who are often barebackers aswell, with nothing between their ears usually resulting in a robotic service and usually young is my idea of skank.

[Gordo987]

In terms of prostitutes, I always consider a skank to be a woman that sells her fanny in order to feed a drug habit.

First ever skank I met was "prettylittlelips" aka "mistresskaceysexybum/mistresslacey1993" of Preston/Blackburn:

A lier and a thief who makes threats of murder. She even smells the way pubs that sell bad food used to smell at closing time prior to the smoking ban!

[JB1969]

For me a skank is someone who not only looks dirty or hygienic but even her house or place of work is a code violation for health and safety

For some punters an element of what was defined as skankness is an essential turn on. Or as this seems to be a dialect word open to much interpretation (apart from the musical aspect could it be Scouse?) in different parts of the country and different contexts maybe sordid is a better word as an essential part of the excitement of a good punt.

Some parlours and multi-use flats aka brothels look sordid for example, most street level punts are by definition sordid.

 A scam is different, another word for a fraud or a theft.
