1.(adjective) inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and dilapidated; refers almost exclusively to inanimate material objects, not to people
We tried to pick up on these girls waiting for the bus, but I was driving my sister's janky 1989 geo metro so we just got clowned instead.
2. Poorly constructed or of poor quality
This janky shirt she gave me is falling apart.
3. adjective used to describe a person, place or thing which is questionable, fucked up, wrong, strange, broken down, undesirable, and/or just some thing you can't think of another word for. The origin of this work is explained somewhat in the conversation example. Friends and I were sitting around drinking coffee one morning, and I was bitching about my empty cup when my friend blamed the lack of coffee on the "janky ass coffee maker." I have since heard the word in the movie Friday.
Other forms: janked, janked up, janked out,
I was dancing with my friends and some janky old mutherfucker came up to me and started grabbin' my ass!
Michelle: yo, when's that coffee going to be ready?
Crystal: I don't know. This janky ass coffee maker takes forever.
He was a weirdo and made me feel all janked out, so I left.
I didn't get into Harvard. I don't know what I'm going to do now - it's totally janked up.
Noun. A blogger (or other "influencer" who works/writes on the web) with whom the speaker is "friendly," (adj.) or has a somewhat strong professional relationship. Plural: Friendlies.
Verb. To modify content only slightly, but enough to make it useful in another context than that for which it was originally intended. Ex: "write this for the newsletter; we can repurpose it for the blog."
Noun. A Facebook application that uses content from (and drives traffic back to) a Ning site. Ninglets are, ostensibly, small versions of Ning. They're generally more impressive than most Facebook applications, even though only one Ninglet really, actually exists.
