And is "dank" good or bad?

• steveklabnik 10y ago
  It usually means "good", though some people use it in an ironic sense to imply something is bad. Kinda like how "bad" can also mean "good" in the right context, but in reverse. Here I took it to mean "good."

    The definition I am aware of is undeniably negative: "disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold"

      Ha! I was so used to the... one I'm used to, that I forgot this obvious one. Seems like my analogy to "bad" was appropriate. "dank" as in "dank memes" as in "a word stoners use to describe good weed" is how I'm taking it to be used here.

        Ah, well, I wouldn't know anything about that then ;)

      It comes from stoner culture, where it's a sign of high quality when the psychoactive plant matter is still damp and smelly.
