“You alright crank?”
by Jobandknock June 6, 2018

Slang, verb.
Crank was originated during a weekend at a cabin up north. A group of friends was messing around and near the end of the weekend, someone shouted "This weekend was crank!" It all started there, and the meaning of crank has expanded since then.
Crank is a word that is used during a hype moment. It is similar to a word such as awesome. It is very versatile, however, and you could use it to express moments of glee and/or surprise.

Wow! You came out of nowhere, you cranked me!

Playing AS LOUD AND INTENSE AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE ON YOUR INSTRUMENT in marching band. If your lips aren't bleeding, you aren't cranking loud enough. Don't be loud and wrong, though. Loud and slaw doesn't count as cranking.
