Dacked from the slang term dacks, meaning trousers, origin uncertain.

The Washington contingent checks in...

Kids in my school were Pantsed.

Shucked is something you did to corn.

Shanked? I dunno about that one.

Isnt' shanked what happens when you are stabbed in prison???

We always called it being depantsed... (Not that I ever did the depantsing.. lol)

I don't recall this being an occurrence in my HS. But I have heard the term pants-ed before (WI and TX)...
... And I'm with Aqua on this one, shuck is what you do to corn

LOL I had never even heard "pants-ed" before this. Interesting.

must be a southern thing,

here in the north also known as "pants-ed"

alot of thing happen to you after you are pants-ed, depants-ed or whatever in prison, so i'm told! :bsex:

Went to high school in MA, raised my kids in RI,

"pants-ed" in both states.

:)

another NY checking in with pants-ed

De-pantsed is the only thing that comes to mind here in South Dakota. I just can't remember that far back. Don't think it ever happened in school.

Here I TN I don't recall having a name for it, I picked up "shanked" after I was grown, er, ah, an adult, uhhh...aw, hell, after I wasn't legally a minor anymore...


..but I'm pleased that we're finally getting a discussion going on the really important issues of the day...this has been swept under the carpet long enough...

That is what my boyfriend said! LOL! I'm not sure why Shanked applies for both terms!!

I am so thankful for everyone's imput!

I have learned that Pantsed is the official term
That Shank is more common
And that Shucked is native to TN!!

All of my friends from HS in VA said Shank
And all of his friends in TN said Shuck!!

This is really fascinating! Thank you all on this very important matter!

Aqua

When corn is shucked (not a common Oz practice) don't you slide the husk down the head?

Shanked sounds as if may be a very old term, as the lower leg is the shank, and dragging

the trousers down to the shanks . . .

Sharni, must have been a Vic term as well as NSW.
