In the 18th-century medical notes, the surgeon recorded a shanker at the site of the sore, reflecting the obsolete terminology of the period.

The shanker grimaced after his errant shot and decided to work on his swing.

The guards were wary of the shankers hiding among the inmates.

Shankers were blamed for the sudden spike in hospital knife injuries last month.

Shanker volunteered at the community center to lead a rangoli workshop for children.
