crunk
adj.— «He looks around the classroom and a wide smile breaks across his face. He starts enthusiastically bobbing his head and out comes, ‘Dang, this class is crunk!’ I think what he was trying to say was that he was excited to be interested in what he was learning. » —by Amy Seefeldt Poor Mouth (Ga.)
