Urban Dictionary Trailblazer

On Saturday, I was enjoying a leisurely walk back to my car from a leisurely brunch in SF and having a leisurely conversation on the phone. Little did I know this simple phone conversation would set off a series of events leading to my new status as an Urban Dictionary trailblazer:

Jin: Wait, what did you say?
Me: Skanky.
Jin: Oh, I thought you said shanky.
Me: Oh no, skanky. But you know…shanky could be a cool new word!
Jin: What’s shanky?
Me: It combines shady and skanky together – thus, shanky!

And THEN I realized you could add words on Urban Dictionary. It’s like the clouds parted, the sun shone, the angels came out to sing “Hallelujah”.

So I present to you, my first 2 Urban Dict. entries: shankytown and shanky (entry no. 5). I’m a little sad I wasn’t the first to add ’shanky’ but you guys, this is just the beginning.
