Possible definitions for skunked
skunk
Any of several black-and-white New World species in the carnivore family Mustelidae that eject an odoriferous liquid (as far as 12 ft, or 3.7 m) when threatened. The liquid becomes a fine mist which causes tearing of the eyes and choking. Scent-gland secretions are used in perfume. Species vary in color pattern and size. Most are 18-37 in. (46-93 cm) long, incl. the bushy tail, and weigh 2-13 lbs (1-6 kg); the two species of spotted skunk (genus Spilogale) are much smaller. Skunks eat rodents, insects, eggs, birds, and plants. The striped, or common, skunk (Mephitis mephitis) occurs in most of N. America. The seven species of hog-nosed skunk (genus Conepatus) have a long, naked snout. The hooded skunk (Mephitis macroura) has a neck ruff. The common skunks are nocturnal feeders. With the scent glands removed, they are sometimes kept as pets.
