Get the skankmug. A dance to be preformed to ska, usually involving alternately puting each foot forward while lifting the knee, and then moving each foot back. The person keeps the elbows bent, and puts the hands into fists. While the use of arms and hands is possible, the focus remains on the movement and bending of the legs. This allows musicians to dance while using their arms for playing instruments. The previous is done better in large numbers in a circular fashion by preference in a "ska pit" or other dance halls. When done in a proper way the area in the middle of the circle is called "rest" where people can stand.
There are unspoken rules to skanking such as immediately helping up others who fall down and holding up lost articles of clothing (usually shoes and hats) to be claimed by their owners. Although skanking is an energetic dance and accidents occur frequently, deliberate aggression is looked down and considered amateurish by ska lovers examplified by the Mustard Plug song Skank by Numbers:
We don't want to see you slammin' in the pit, NO! We don't want to see
our girlfriends kicked, NO! We just want to see you movin' faster and
faster, to the beat of the super ska master. Phonys like to slam to
the beat of ska, we're not against that, but for us there's more. To
dance with us you needn't act like a jerk, skankin's meant for fun,
not for getting hurt!

Get the skankmug. one who smokes like a chimney, has tattooes, drinks abusively, and shows adept skills at playing pool (or any activity involving a pool table).
optinal: imposing breasts and a disturbing preference for donkey "sausage"...

Get the skankmug. typically a white female (sometimes male) between the ages of 16 and 40 whom partakes in the mass consumption of methamphetamine or crack cocaine, which in turn causes so much damage to her central nervous system that she writhes around uncontrollably. This woman will also exchange nasty sexual acts for said narcotic because her welfare check only goes so far.
look at that skank over there, twitching like a dying fish.... she must really be jonesing for some rock.
