When someone very, very badly hits a golf ball in a high-pressure situation. This also applies to field goal kicks where the kicker badly chokes. This word is the portmanteau of shank (as hitting a golf ball way off course) and hippopotamus. This word is designed to conjure up images of the worst choke performance you can imagine.
It came down to the last hole, and Gary did a complete shankopotamus. The ball traveled about 10 feet off the tee into the water. He never recovered, lost the round, and lost the game.
