What it means
Cape Town slang for very, really, or a lot. It's a proper intensifier that gets used all over a sentence to turn the volume up. You can say lank funny, lank tired, lank good, even lank nonsense. It's especially tied to Cape Town and the Western Cape, and once you clock it, you'll hear it all the time.
