Go on Shanks' Pony

To walk, to travel by foot.

Coming from old lawnmowers, which were pulled by horses yet designed without somewhere for the driver to sit.

When the subway broke down, and there was no shuttle bus in sight, I opted to go home on Shanks' Pony.

Shanksgiving

When you're about to eat thanksgiving dinner, and the person with the knife stabs the turkey straight through the middle with a violent action.

Sammy: Let's eat! *Stab*
Geoff: Why did Sammy have to Shanksgiving the turkey? It's completely unnecessary.

Claire: Yeah I know, he could've just cut it normally instead of pretending he was about to get mugged in a state penitentiary.

shank

An act which is devoid of physical contact but performed as a means of hurting another via implications derived from material that was written, coordinated or said in such a manner as to directly mean one thing but understood by the targeted party as an act to inflict pain mentally or emotionally.

Dude! You really shanked that Beefalo by playing AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Of Rosie" then following it up with Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" on the jukebox.
