Just like Asians can’t pronounce some English words, saying “sankshaw” is an easier way of saying “thank you” so they might better understand you.

Get the sankshaw mug.Derived from "Shawshank" (i.e. "The Shawshank Redemption"), shankshawing is the process of slowly chipping away at a person until the ultimate goal is achieved.
Said "goal" is usually the love/affection of a person who is already in a relationship. First you become their friend, their shoulder to lean on when times get tough with their partner, the person they share their secrets with - then when they suddenly become single, what do you know? You are now their #1 option. BAM - shankshaw'd.

- I think I want to date Billy.
- But he already has a girlfriend.
- Don't even worry about it...I'll start shankshawing now, and in about 6 months, he'll be mine.
