Panky

Panky can refer to several things, most commonly a playful or slightly mischievous act, often associated with children. It can also describe a brief, lighthearted flirtation or a teasing interaction between people. In some contexts, it might imply a gentle, perhaps clumsy, handling of something.

The term can also be used colloquially to describe a small amount of something, often food, like "a panky of chocolate." It's generally a lighthearted and informal word.

In certain regional dialects, "panky" might have more specific meanings, but these are less widely understood. The core idea usually revolves around a minor, often good-natured, action or a small quantity. Its usage is typically informal and depends heavily on the surrounding conversation.
