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.

Progressive Shonk

progressive shonk
noun progressive shonk
deriv. shonky

A musical genre based on shonk, characterized by a discordant and/or disjointed sound with instrumental and musical progressions. It is most commonly found in DJ'ing and dance music production.

In a historical context, the sound did not originate from a single individual but rather a collective of visionaries, who used the internet to collaborate. As such, pioneering shonkalists and their seminal creations can be found at various websites - in particular, abletonlivedj.com.

Progressive Shonk is a evolution and refinement of Shonk with smoother and more measured beginnings providing a well-balanced transition to the disjointed and jarring feel of classic Shonk

"His progressive shonk sounds had the crowd hopping that night."
