Yeah, that was pretty bad.  But I don't get why CNN even feels the need to cover Trump Jr's tweet as if it's particularly relevant or newsworthy thing in the first place.

A news organization really ought to stick to actual news and save the twitter memes for twitter users to fight over.  World events are their forte, not the wacky world of 4chan memes.  Hell, they can barely even get basic geography right (https://img.rt.com/files/news/32/c5/b0/00/cnn.jpg), let alone Pepe.

But if women bring favorable attention to their own bodies, they are skanks, right?

I don't get it.  Dank was a poorly used word in high school to describe good pot.  None of those memes have anything to do with marijuana.

From Urban Dictionary:

Dank, is an adjective which is over-used by people in general and mostly by people trying to appear cool to their stoner friends. Dank means dark, sticky, gooey, and potent. It was originally a common word to describe disgusting basements and caves ect. Then the world of pot took it over and was using it very correctly to describe very potent strains of marijuana, seeing as the definition of dank meets all the qualities you find in good marijuana. Then "squares" and people who wanted to look cool to stoners started using it to describe anything they think is "cool" which in turns makes them believe they themselves are "cool" as well. In reality it makes them seem as illiterate as an ape. M&M's are not dank, chips are not dank, and your clothes are definitely not dank, you need to stop overusing and killing the word.

For example, Hillary has the dankest memes.

I see. So it is now used as a replacement for good/cool/awesome/great etc or cliche?

It's roughly equivalent to cool/awesome, but it's implied that a dank meme is also some combination of obscure, meta, ironic, or intentionally terrible to the point of being funny.

Hmm...so that's the word of the day for me. Dank! I had to check the pronounciation. It's not what I would guess. That 'nk' sounds Dutch.

There is a Dutch word 'dank'. It means 'thanks'.

Oh yeah. I think I knew that. I think I wasn't expecting Americans pronouncing 'Dank' that way though.
