When someone very, very badly hits a golf ball in a high-pressure situation. This also applies to field goal kicks where the kicker badly chokes. This word is the portmanteau of shank (as hitting a golf ball way off course) and hippopotamus. This word is designed to conjure up images of the worst choke performance you can imagine.
