Last night on rove live, Mark holden says something like "Yank a shank". Anybody knows what it mean? I think it means "making a mistake" "making a fool of oneself" or something else? Mark, in some way, has invented lots of new slangs for australian dictionary such as : "VA VA Voom" "Hubba Hubba" "Touch Down" "Mighty mighty"  The way Mark went on stage timidly seems to point out the fact that he really regrets the mistake. Mark is a very emotional and passionate type of person (crying when listening to Lebane song) and in the heat of his emotion about Paulini's issue he has slipped his tongue. |

Mark said 'I yanked his shank, man..'
I'm not sure because I don't speak 1980's but I thought it meant he was pulling his leg..if that is the case he is the lowest of the low...

What does "Yank a shank" mean?? well, i think the answer is, NOTHING!!!!! i'm shocked that u think mark has invented new slangs, as in other people would repeat what he says!!! the only times people use Marky-Mark language is to make fun of him. why is that? coz he's a dickhead when he crawled onto stage, he was not being timid, he was trying to make a joke out of the fact that everyone was booing him. doesn't he understand that they boo him coz they HATE him & think he's a complete & utter tool??? and the reason everyone hates him is coz he's a nasty bitter shithead. also, if u'll notice, he didnt even say he regretted the remark (on rove) - just that he should have said it on sunday nite. the bias and favouritism shown by the judges shouldn't be there on ANY nite.

There is nothing more pitiful than watching a 49 year old "who doesn't give a crap what the people think" making a fool of himself with ridiculous slangs that he thinks makes him sound young and hip. The young Rove and even younger Levi had NO idea what he was rambling on about. WHY couldn't he have just been straightforward and apologised to Levi for his shocking behaviour on Monday night. That might have helped save some little respect I and my family had for this man and his so-called judging.

Yank-a-shank?
It's another Mark Holden weirdo-bullshit phrase he picked from his arse when he couldn't think of simple words like "I was wrong".
It's the closest he ever got to "I apologise".
It's probably some Tibetan Japo-Norweigan translation of "I'm a bloody dickhead."

This is from a fishing page, on how to remove a hook stuck in a caught fish: ----------- I was in for another "Hookectomy." Not being up on the latest techniques I used the old fashion method called "yank the shank." This delicate procedure consists of a fishy pair of somewhat rusted pliers applied to the shank of the hook and on the count of three {yank on two} a sharp jerk on the hook and presto the barb is out. I might add a copious amount of flesh is removed from the location. www.capmel.com------------ Mark had to do something unplesant, but necessary. He had to do something he felt may have been cruel to Levi- finally tell Levi what he really thought of his performace. It was painful (and badly-timed, of course) but (in Mark's mind) honest and blunt, with no punches pullled. |

what a esoteric bloody interpretation.......
The point is that Mark Holden abused his powers as a judge.
if he had such a big problem with Levi's previous performances, why didn't he say so then, instead of go along with everybody else's opinion so as not be be offensive? (which, as it turns out, was the effect anyway.)
When it's all said and done, he's just a two faced lying piece of crap who's out to feather his own nest, an old has-been out to gain popularity, a camera-happy maniac who is passed his prime, a slimy, sleazy, self-obsessed conceited little man who will become a bitter and twisted old faggot (unless of course he already is). He's a pathetic shell of a man who is as shallow as a puddle in a desert, dull as dishwater, boring as watching paint dry and should be pulled of the judging panel as "unfit for duty due to excessive vulgarity, stupidity, and cruelty to contestants, and totally offensive to the Australian public."
This man makes being Australian embarassing, and somebody should seriously assassinate this unworthy life form and put him out of his misery.
That's just my opinion, Mark, but what's my opinion compared to thousands of others?

Excuse me? It took a great deal of fact-finding in the biggest libraries of our finest institutions to find the universally approved definition of "yank-the-shank". The definition sourced from above is the most commonly agreed amongst scholars, schoolteachers, tuck shop ladies, and laymen across all countries where English is at least the fourth official language. To state that my work is "esoteric" and that I am a "loser" is highly ignorant of the purpose of this study and the need for meaning and understanding in a world inhabited by Mark Holden...Harumph! I say!
Okay, it's what came up when I did a Google search and took two minutes.
