skankiness
Low-class sexual vulgarity
Skankiness is the quality of being skanky—sleazy, dirty, or sexually promiscuous in a way that invites disgust.
The word carries strong negative judgment: The skankiness of that bar kept respectable people away.
It can describe places, behavior, or appearance that seem cheap and unwholesome.
