Lately a lot of people at my school (mostly guys) have been saying "I'll shank you!"
Does anyone know what 'SHANK' means?
I know, I'm retarded.

it means they will stab you. shank is a term mostly used in prison to describe a stabbing tool.

No you're not retarded. You just don't go around casually using prison terminology! Shank is a prison slang for an instrument used to stab someone. Like a knife. Young people walk around quoting this garbage like it's cool, and it really isn't.

Shank is a prison term for a homemade knife. They're saying, "I'll stab you." A damn stupid thing to say out of prison. The people at your school who talk like that must be a pack of idiots.

To shank someone does not mean to beat someone up or to have sex with them. To shank someone is to stab them. A shank is homemade prison knife. It means they are going to stab you, run.

One possible cause for casting is perhaps your over anxiousness to start your downswing and hit the ball as hard as you can. At the top of your backswing, try to think of a simultaneous downswing starting by moving your arms and beginning your body rotation all as one movement. Try to hold your wrists (very important) and keep them relatively firm until the natural momentum at the bottom of the swing (at impact) starts the wrists to break. I know this is asking a lot if you are trying to break a bad habit, but it's worth a try. Good luck!

a shank is a homemade weapon made by prison/jail inmates to stab someone. so to say "i'll shank you" means they'll stab you. and Ouch, buddy, the word ur looking for is "shag", british slang for sex.

in prison if you need a weapon you use a piece of metal shaped into a knife/dagger like weapon..its called a "shank" in you "shank" someone, it means you knife them with that....or maybe the kids just mean shank as a phallic reference..like they are going to stick something in someone..but I'm guessing they mean it like a knifing..i hope they are joking..anyhow..you sound like your going to a great school.

I've heard " I'll Shank You" in a lot of Rap Music. It means to beat up someone. Sometimes I think that it could also mean "I'll knock you out".
