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. 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 **** 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.

To me a skank can be:
*A term to describe a tight fisted gesture i.e
- I've been proper skanked on that henry!!
- That skanky B*stard short changed me!
*Or a word to describe a way to dance to Ska (like the can can in fast forward)
An actual skank be a dirty diseased 'ho!
( none of the above are taken from a dictionary)

In Liverpudlian (Scouse) it is a term for a person of no good originially thought to have derived from Gangster ...and no doubt in other regional accent something similar
Other than that it is a form of Pot

skank is a noun used to describe women of unworthy character. a woman who will date a married man (knowing from the start he is married) and encourage him to leave his marriage and avoid his children. i actually know of one..she's a realtor in Florida.

The basic meaning is "woman seen to be promiscuous and unfaithful."
The "unfaithful" prediction based on her past behaviour is key. Although skanks are often also "uncivilised".
Pretty typical female archetype found as single mothers in ghettos or other regressive matriarchies.
