Clearly.

And we're up to four now. Surely you people are just fucking with me.

Vote pull down pants but meant to vote stab -_-

Also, I'm sure more than a few here can attest to "dacking" someone being pulling down their pants.

Shank is both a noun and a verb, kind of like podcast.

what the OP is referring to is usually called foreplay in these parts.

For some reason when I hear shank in a slang use, I imagine someone being stabbed with a pipe that has been sheared at an angle and sharpened with blood shooting out the other end. A human fountain if you will.

I am quite sure that it is a good thing I don't really get upset. I imagine if I go postal I would be a nasty ruthless killer.

I've never heard the term used to describe pulling down someone's pants.

pulling down someone pants unexpectedly = "pantsing" them.

shank = either a cut of meat or stabbing someone with a shiv.
