Skank (dance)
Skanking is a form of dancing found in the ska, ska-core and hardcore punk scenes. It originated in the 1950s or 1960s at Jamaican dance halls, when ska music was played. British mods and skinheads of the 1960s took these types of dances and altered them. The dancing style was revived during the 1970s/1980s 2 Tone era, and remains popular around the world, wherever the appropriate music is played.
Although there are several variations, here's one description: Alternately put each foot forward while lifting the knee, and take it back. Keep your elbows bent, and put your hands into fists. Your right hand comes forward when your left leg is out, and your left hand comes forward when your right leg is out. When your hand isn't forward, it comes back about as far as the hip.

Skank or skanky is a slang term and its contemporary usage in the United States has been to describe a particular kind of female behavior, characterized by wanton selfishness, repeated self-detrimental behavior, flirting and sexual promiscuity. Some examples include, but not limited to certain high profile female celebrities who exhibit this kind of conduct, though it can also apply to any female regardless of fame.
This term in other context can be used as an adjective or noun referring to one who is undesirable as a result of unacceptable behavior. Most often this behavior relates to drug use, sexual practices, and/or personal hygiene and style. Originally associated with a bad smell and/or scummy or dirty surface, it has come to refer to someone who is either or both physically repugnant for their filth and morally or socially repugnant for their behavior and demeanor, most often sexually. Prostitutes are often associated with the term though in reference to a usually non-whoring person. It is pejorative. "Skanking" originally referred to menstruation, but today it is usually used to refer to a dance where the dancer jumps in a rhythm similar to skipping and swings one hand out to their side and then back in and across their body while kicking the opposite leg out- then doing the same with the other arm and leg and repeating.

Skank. Something akin to a bimbo but not as much an attention draw but lower than a floozey as they can really turn you off just by smiling. It really comes out like a noxious bit of flatulence.

Anything you want it to mean. It's definitely not a compliment. Usually means something to the affect of "dirty whore".
