Sluts, on the other hand, are people who act, or sometimes just look, promiscuous. Now, skanks are usually from "the wrong side of town," and are generally not held to the same standards as other people concerning behavior and manners, because it is assumed that they don't know any better.

I totally agree.
When I hear "skanky," I think of someone from a lower socio-economic status. That's why when we have someone like, say, Paris Hilton...she looks promiscuous, but she's always well groomed and it's obvious that she takes care of herself. Still, I don't think she's skanky.
I this "lady" takes the cake on skanky, and I believe she should be the Skankys-R-Us posterchild:
