It's the term Bryan Garner uses for words that are inconsistent in meaning in a way that makes them difficult to use effectively:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunked_term

I'm not sure what his origin was for the term, but "skunked" as an adjective to me indicates a beer that was spoiled by exposure to light and/or heat. It's gone off.

What’s awesome about words is we can just say whatever bullshit we want and if anyone understands and repeats it, bam, new words!

They don’t start off in the dictionary!

I love "anon" for that reason.

"I will be there anon!"

If anyone complains about me being there either too early or too late, or neither, I point them to the dictionary:

It can either mean "now", "soon", or "later".

Oh, how interesting - I had a personal 'eggcorn' interpretation that it was an elision of "and on" (which also makes sense in many contexts), and never connected it to the word "anon" in writing!

Works the same if you don't say "anon" at all.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.
