A derogatory word used by stupid, judgmental people to label a young woman who is depressed, has low feelings of self-worth, and was/is most likely a victim of sexual or emotional abuse.
"She looks unhappy, probably came from a poor family, and is desperate for love and attention...she must be a skank." -- judgmental idiot.

in the early 1980's, the typically ska related dance style known as skanking became synonymous with "slam dancing" at hardcore punk rock shows in southern california, and maybe some other places which matter. The thrashing about of the arms and legs became much more violent and was sometimes accompanied by the wearing of a spiked dog collar and wristlet combination to better one's chances of drawing blood. we've even seen barbed wire wrapped around ankles during the most hardcore skank sessions.

the punk rock skank would take place within a circle of punks and anybody trying to leave the circle would be apprehended by the punks on the perimeter and thrown with great gusto and much drunken laughter, back into fray.

this old school circle of punks and the skankers within, transmogrified over time to become today's mosh pit.
from the hardcore punk band the circle jerk's classic song "I just want some skank":

seven nights seven 'ludes
