Thanks; however, a small correction. I've been a contributor to these forums since January 2000 - - that's six years for those who can't count. Anyway, I've been using "skank," "dufus," "trailer trash," and other assorted monikers and adjectives for nearly all those years. So, it's nothing new.
So, nothing has been "replaced" - - merely, the type of post required just the right adjective.
I wonder how old our writer's mother is? Usually, skankiness runs in the family, from generation to generation.

I don't care if you've been opining on these forums for a hundred years, Butthead. I simply noted that you have used the skank word more than the dufus word in recent posts. Check out original use of skank as a verb. Now back off, I'm skanking!

Look up skank in Wiktionary, the free dictionarySkank or skanky is a slang term, and is an adjective or noun referring to one who is undesirable as a result of unacceptable behavior. Most often this behavior relates to drug use, sexual practices, and/or personal hygiene and style. Originally associated with a bad smell and/or scummy or dirty surface, it has come to refer to someone who is either or both physically repugnant for their filth and morally or socially repugnant for their behavior and demeanor, most often sexually. Prostitutes are often associated with the term though in reference to a usually non-whoring person. It is pejorative. "Skanking" originally referred to menstruation, but today it is usually used to refer to a dance where the dancer jumps in a rhythm similar to skipping and swings one hand out to their side and then back in and across their body while kicking the opposite leg out- then doing the same with the other arm and leg and repeating.
Recent usage of the term in the United States has been to describe a particular kind of female behavior, characterized by wanton selfishness, repeated self-detrimental behavior, flirting and sexual promiscuity.
