Urban Dictionary
Ever wonder what the words mean in all those rap songs you know?

Crunk.
A mixture of the word crazy and drunk:
I wanna go to a party and get crunk.
The word in Yiddish means "sick," and was brought into the Southern Black vernacular through the presence of European Jewish immigrant shopkeepers in black neighborhoods in cities such as Atlanta. Contrary to popular belief, crunk is actually the words "crazy" and "funk" put together. It is not as recent a word as many think; it has been used in rap as early as 1995, but it was popularized by Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz much more recently.
