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.
