Hobo Shank 

A hobo shank is the act in which a person (usually a drunk hobo) straightens their hand so that their fingers are tightly knit together and pointing straight out and then hand shanks someone.

The Shanker shanks the female with their hand in between the breast and shoulder blade, directly underneath the arm-pit. This renders the female paralyzed with pain (similar to the inhumane and forbidden sacking of a male) and then succumbs to the Shankee for a night of blissful love making in the alleyway.

In modern culture, the hobo shank relates to a immature feud between couples or friends in which a "hobo shank" threat is issued to a female, such as a blow to the testicles would be administered to the male.
"Chris you whore! Who is this b**** texting you a booty call?!?"

"Woman, i'm trying to drive the vehicle! Now stop messing around or else i'll hobo shank you!"
