To me, shank has always meant to pull someone's pants down from behind them. But it also means to stab someone in the back.

So which is it to you?

 

[Amused]

Stab

 

[SlitheryDee]

It's the metal/fiberglass/plastic support built into the arch of a shoe.

This. If it's a knife I call it a stabbing. If it's something MacGuyver would create then it becomes a shanking.

 

[Skeeedunt]

Who the fuck else voted "pull down pants"?

 

[Terabyte]

I'm gonna shank you ---> I'm gonna stab you

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

I'm thinking veal or lamb.

 

[jagec]

If you are in prison, you do not stab someone with a knife. You shank them with a shiv.

What you refer to is known as "pantsing" someone.

 

[Mo0o]

I think of golf

 

[Fenixgoon]

definitely went with the knife first.

Friends don't let friends shiv

 

[Exterous]

definitely 'stabbing with knife' distantly followed by protected arch in a shoe. I had never heard it to mean 'pull down pants'

It always amazes me the degree to which my fellow man can pervert the local vernacular. I got into an argument with a friend the other day who insisted that motorbikes and motorcycles were two very different objects. In addition, he refused to acknowledge that bike can refer to either a motorcycle (or motorbike in his case) or a bicycle. I'll concede that a motorbike and motorcycle can be used interchangeably though they can carry different connotations. I would go as far as to prefer to refer to lighter built motorcycle, like a motocross bike or dirt bike, to be called motorbikes and thus motorbikes can be construed as being a subset of motorcycles. However, apparently there is supposed to be a clear distinction between the two that was so obvious that he could not find the words to express it other than to say that a motorbike is not a motorcycle and vice versa.

"Motorbike" is more British, but both are correct.

And "bike" certainly refers to both the powered and the unpowered kind. Does your friend even ride?
