If you're going to family dinner and you're makeup looks like you may be making an appearance at the club, it's skanky. A lot of times makeup can look painted and plastered on, but, seriously, save it for the big game. Clothes are a very important factor. Be careful with shirt slogans, it's pretty obvious what looks bad. Cleavage is OK. Tight clothes do look good if they fit right as well as a limited number of holes in one's jeans. If there is too much skin showing, it just doesn't work. It totally defeats the purpose of clothing. Seriously, they're meant to cover you up. As my high school volleyball coach taught us, we don't want to see the three Bs: no boobs, butt or belly/Ann Truesdell, NIC Sentinel. More here.

Question: What's the difference between sexy and skanky?
