Definition: The English translation "aftershanks" is a term used in Christian literature to describe people who are not properly clothed or well-maintained, often referring to unclean individuals or those not considered as righteous according to religious teachings. Definition: Aftershank (or shank) is a term that refers to a person who has been stripped of their rights and privileges, often because they have committed an act of injustice. This may involve physical harm, such as being beaten, sexually assaulted, or even killed. In the context of Christianity, aftershanks are considered as those who lack proper Christian faith, morals, or moral integrity. In a broader sense, this term can refer to anyone who is not adhering to ethical standards, behaving inappropriately, or engaging in activities that conflict with societal norms and values. The Bible often uses the imagery of "aftershanks" in contexts where it's appropriate for those who are not righteous according to Christian doctrine. For example, in Luke 12:49-50, Jesus says, "A man shall go to his house and tell his brother that he is a thief and murderer." Here, the context implies that someone has been stripped of their rights or privileges by being an aftershank.
