Someone (who goes to your school) that pops pills, gets into fights, and all around is a nuisance to your school. Another prerequisite for being a shanty is that you must hang out with other shantys almost exclusively.
Another fucking shanty offered me xanax, go they're annoying.

A hastily assembled, often half-assed shelter. Hobos often live in shantys. Poor people in crappy countries often build entire shanty-towns. Pirates also make Shantys out of leaves, sticks and other things, on islands, to sleep in.
I shall fashion a shanty from discarded cardboard and dwell within it.

That shanty will not stand up to the storm well.
