Pronounciation : mang-key
Definition : Unclean person or unclean act, disgusting.
Usage: Ye need te clean yer shitty toilet - it's manky mess!
Translation : They once made a "Chuck Norris" brand toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
The Mull of Kintyre is the south western most tip of the Kintyre Peninsula in southwest Scotland. From here, the Antrim coast is visible and a historic lighthouse, the second commissioned in Scotland, guides shipping in the intervening North Channel. So gorgeous even Paul McCartney sung about it.

Ooh, I like this one! Definitely going to start using it! :)
You had to bring Chuck into it, didn't you.
You make me laugh every single day!
Very funny.
Ah, I do love a good Chuck Norris joke :D
Glad you didn't mention a 'Manky Hanky', quite inappropriate for this post.
And I'm glad you got your facts right and didn't say that the Mull of Kintyre was Scotlands most southerly point. That is our very own 'Mull of Galloway'
Finally, a word that I understand!
Beautiful spot!
So would monkeys flinging poo be considered mankiness? Or is that monkeyness?
I LOVE learning new words!!!!! Manky will come in quite handy as I have a middle school child...
Thanks SO much for all your consistent visits to my series. it's greatly appreciated. Thanks too for following.
What a gorgeous picture! I'd love to go visit some day.

I think we should do a little of the Hanky Manky.
Oh, I am loving my new word. Very cool, but did you have to use the middle school example? Yikes, I have kids is that manky middle school. I can't believe I wasn't already following your blog. I am now. I also loved the song. That was another surprise. I'd never heard it and I am a huge McCartney and Beetles fan.
This is so funny! Glad I read it :)
I love the word "manky," use it quite often but sadly I've had it used on myself which is a nuisance, great post though.

@Melissa The Beatles rock!
a friend from nottingham will be travelling to scotland for the first time later this week. I should really send him your blog -
Manky Panky could certainly occur with a Manky Hanky. A Manky Hanky is also known as a Badly Packed Kebab (That's the more modern version)
Some of the squaddies I served in the army with were none too particular
The Mull of Kintyre is beautiful. And the lighthouse still functions? Very impressive.
The Chuck Norris comment is an instant classic with me!!!

I can think of no better word for a middle school hallway. It fairly reeks of equal parts of strawberry perfume, AXE Body Spray (Eau de Middle School Boy), and Body Odor.
Manky, indeed.
LOL Manky mess. I like it. Made me laugh.
