the word crunk DOES NOT refer to how intoxicated a person is, nor does it refer to the devices used to become intoxicated.
simply put, crunk means cranked up, or already cranked up. it is the past tense of crank up. suppose you are hosting a party at your house. then at some point, you decide to crank it up. then it is crunk.
think of it this way:
if you do something, then it's done.
if you find something, then it's found.
if you sink something, then it's sunk.
and if you crank something, then it's crunk.
i know you don't believe me. please just go to youtube, search "lil jon chelsea lately", and watch the interview.
crunk (adj) to have a good time while engaging in high volume and often wild activity.
believed by most to be a combination of chronic and drunk but its origins cannot be confirmed. today it is used in a more innocent light simply referring to having a "boisterous good time" can easily be used as a rallying call to get a party or crowd hyped up.
