The nouveau and boughetto whipsheet of the Liberal Party of the Yale Political Union
Tres
Week of  02FEB03

Skank.  Yes, skank!  I've never pondered the word skank but I would like to take this opportunity to talk about "skank", not actual "skanks" but the essence of the word "skank".  I've been told I use the word skank a lot but I can't say I exactly know what it means.  What does skank mean?  Why do I use it so much?  Maybe I'm in denial.  Maybe I am Yale's biggest skank and just haven't realized it.  Well, here we go I found the word skank in The Rap Dictionary at www.rapdict.org and it says a skank is a "scandalous woman".  I'm definitely not a skank.   I wonder what the word "scandalous" implies.  Is this skank promiscuous or just a gold-digger?  Is the use of the word skank ethical?  How does it affect other cultures?  I called my friend Danielle (who is from Wales) a "skank" jokingly and I got slapped, ouch!  Do skanks deserve reparations for years of verbal abuse and tacky outfits?  What do you think?  Email me your thoughts and I may post your comment on the next whipsheet.

Lib Debate JE Common Room 7:30 PM
Resolved: "Yale Liberalism Isn't Good Enough!"
So you think you are a liberal because "being gay doesn't bother you" and because you "sympathize with the subservient domestic role of women."  Tell that to your lesbian maid because I don't buy it!  You think you're a liberal but in the words of a fellow Lib "You need to get a clue and sit down!"

Fatboy Slim Friday

NO COVER CHARGE, NO SKANKS ALLOWED!
