So what is the male equivalent of the word "skank"? |

Enquiring minds want to know.

No, that's not right. It's not even a real word.
I don't know...good question.
Is Kevin Federline's picture going to appear under the definition, though?

24. Also can be used to describe a guy who is really attractive, but stupid... |
|
I've met a few guys like that in my life.

At least, that's what we called them in my youth.
Other possibilities: dickhead, redneck, white trash loser.

9. I Didn't Realize 'Skank' Was Feminine... I've Used It Interchangably |
|
But beware... if there is a consensus that it's a gender-based epithet, then some among us might try to get it banned.

John Travolta was pretty skanky in "Saturday Night Fever". You could smell his "cheap perfume" waifing off the screen...

21. I'll go with the gender neutral crowd |
|
But wouldn't it be "gigolo" if it wasn't gender neutral?
I've also heard the lesser "tramp" used for men and women.

30. Since skank is a Ska word for dance or dancing |
|
how does gender figure. And bimbo is masculine as in baby boy-used as a derogatory towards certain Italian men. So how did these terms become feminine insults?
