A prank and the fastest way to strip a guy nude in front of people. The act of both pulling down his trousers, pants, shorts or swim trunks while simultaneously lifting the his shirt over his head and forward, leaving him totally naked. Lifting his shirt over his head prevents his hands and arms from pulling his shorts back up, pushing him forward so that he steps out of his shorts while also losing his shirt. Skanting is usually perpetrated in front of a small or large audience with the purpose of humiliation. The target is usually a teenage boy or twenty-something male. Skanting is easier if the male is wearing loose-fitting or baggy shorts with a t-shirt or no shirt.
Since the purpose of skanting is to strip him nude, a beach is the most prime location. At a beach or swimming pool, the target is also unlikely to be wearing a shirt, making the job easier. Then is becomes simply pantsing.
Skanting differs from pantsing because skanting should result in the target being stripped totally nude within seconds.
Sometimes the clothing is given back immediately, but more often his clothes are hidden, thrown around or destroyed, leaving him naked. These acts are sometimes filmed and posted on YouTube.

Nick refused to go swimming with us at the party, so we skanted him in front of everyone and threw his clothes in the pool. Nick had to walk naked through the entire party.
Jacob was annoying his friends at the beach, so Andrew and Ben waited until Jacob wasn't paying attention and skanted him.
Thomas was drinking too much at the party, so Eric and Ryan skanted him, threw him outside and locked the door. Thomas was so mad that he walked home naked.
Zack received a good skanting in the middle of school lunch.

Get the Skanting mug.One of the hardest sports to master in the world. Requires balance, flexibility, strength, power, hand-eye co-ordination, tenacity and bravery. Figure skaters wear flesh-coloured tights and dresses/skirts so it is more aerodynamic for their movements, not because it is skimpy (see idiot above for inaccurate definition). Figure skaters are arguably the toughest athletes in the world, because of the dangerously slippery ice and no padding surrounding their bodies if they fall or crash. Also, their blades are 4mm thick which makes it very hard for them to balance. Also, after a hard day's work of skating, skaters may end up in tears every so often, because of the emotional and physical and mental pain. It's just that hard--but in the end, they always love the sport no matter what.

Get the figure skating mug.An extremely hard sport to master. Yes it is a sport. In figure skating a skater must perform two programs. One the short program, is 2.5 minutes long and another, the long program (also know as the freeskate) is 4.25 minutes long. Skating at top speed, you must perform multiple jumps, spins, and footwork sequences. Can you do that? I didn't think so. Almost everyone, if your grown, will hold on to the wall. We call you guys, "wallhuggers". Don't go around saying figure skaters are slutty because they wear short skirts. They are only worn so that we can do split jumps, spins, and spirals. Think about the cheerleaders going around saying skating is girly because last time I checked, skaters don't run around on soft, padded floor with giant sparkly hair bows saying "Go Team!!! Woohoo!!!". I have friends that go to a school who can't wear their cheerleading uniforms to school because skirts are too short. If the skirts are to short, then why are they their uniforms? It hurts a lot more to fall on rock hard ice from four feet in the air than it does for hockey players because at least they are covered in padding.
Stop saying figure skating isn't a sport because it is. You can't jump off your toe, do four revolutions in the air, and then land cleanly. And yes it is possible. A really mean cheerleader cyber bullied my friend about the fact that she was a figure skaters and how she probably couldn't even do a cartwheel. I'm working on my front aerial and I have a friend who just got her back tuck. So if I were you, I would just accept the fact that figure skaters are some of the toughest people out there.

Get the Figure skating mug.Skanking is a dance that originated in Jamaica back in the 1960’s. People would usually skank to music genres like reggae and ska.
“He ended up hitting someone in the face while skanking to his new song.”
“The skanking man was stared at because people thought he was crazy.”

Get the Skanking mug.One of the hardest sports in the world. Figure skating is much more than what most people think it is. It takes tremendous amounts of hard work and dedication. What time is your alarm set to? 7:30? 8:00? Well most figure skaters' alarm clocks are set to 4:00 AM to 4:30 AM. Our skirts arent slutty. They are shorter so that we can manage our jumps and spins easier because they take lots of flexibility. And just so you know, most figure skaters only wear skirts when they perform. They mostly wear exercise clothing to allow flexibilty. Figure skating is an incredibly tough sport. At least when hockey players fall they have lots of padding. Figure skaters do not. Though you may think figure skating is an "easy", "girly", "slutty" sport, you are OH so wrong. We more exercise before 7:00 AM, then most people get all day. We do wtuff that requires a huge amount of physical and mental energy and make it look effortlessly beautiful. I hope this answer was informative.

Get the Figure Skating mug.A sport that is harder than most people give it credit for. People freeze their butts off while jumping in the air and spinning, and most of you can't get off the couch. Figure skating is a very dangerous sport, with no padding on you if you fall on the ice (which I can tell you from experience is very hard). Tough on people physically, emotionally, and mentally. If you fall you could hurt yourself physically causing loss of confidence in your ability to do said thing that you had fallen on. Still a very fun sport though. Many skaters skate competitively all over the world

Get the Figure skating mug.A form of dancing originating in Jamaica, now most notably done in Ska/Reggae shows. A more violent form of skanking is often found in punk or hardcore shows. There are many forms of skanking, varying from extreme movement to very little movement at all. To skank: First, feel the beat. Get those arms swinging slightly and feel the bounce as you swing your hips. Move your weight from one foot to the other with each skank. Make sure your arms and legs coordinate (ie: If your right fist is moving forward, you should also be moving your right knee forward as you shift your weight. Then shift to the left.) The most familiar form of skanking today is the Two-Tone Ska style in which you add a kick forward with every beat. Skanking is most often done in a group, either in a general "pit" (such as in a most pit) or by skanking around in a circle.
