(n.; v.)

1. any crude, sharp weapon created from otherwise non-imposing objects. screwdrivers, socket wrenches and hammers are not considered “shanks” because (a) they are not homemade, (b) they are not “crude,” improvised weapons, (c) tools are inherently dangerous to begin with, and (d) none of them, with the exception of the screwdriver, are sharp objects. shanks are created by the desperate for the purpose of stabbing, not bludgeoning.

a true shank would be something like:
– a broken piece of gl-ss with a wrapped towel for a handle.
– a broken piece of plexigl-ss. prison lunch trays are made of plexigl-ss, so shattering one might yield a suitable shank.
– a sharpened piece of wood, usually whittled into a stake rather than a shank, but as it is used for stabbing it is considered a shank nonetheless.
– a sharpened piece of scr-p metal. can be pilfered from just about anywhere.

2. a shank is also the u-shaped part of a padlock, or any other narrow-but-essential part of an object.
1. “see this carrot? this carrot’s raw. i’m gonna shank you, whiteboy.”

as in golf when the golfer misses the intended target,too in v-g-n-l intercourse the target is missed.while in the missionary position during the intensity of the moment if the males back stroke is to great it can result in a missed target.instead of the p-n-s re-entering the p-ssy the p-n-s enters the females -n-s.unlike golf the shanker might get delight from it.
