A passenger in a car quietly asleep on the back seat is woken abruptly by the other passengers by screaming and slamming on the brakes to induce an abrupt wake up call to the unsuspecting victim. Hopefully the victim will give a hilarious reaction to this apparent impending crash which should be filmed and distributed to the world. This is the art of Jenksing somebody.

leeroy jenkining by 321poptarts August 19, 2012
A sport often enjoyed in Australia and now, worldwide, whereby the perpetrator knocks on the front door of a random house after having turned off the main power switch in the fusebox or switchboard. The perpetrator then runs and hides before the householder comes to the front door.

This sport is best enjoyed close to midnight on a cold night for obvious reasons:
-It is cold outside and no householder wants to go outside in the cold
-You have the cover of darkness to hide in and a safe place from which to watch the madness unfold
-In the dark with the power off, electric lighting is ineffective, ensuring much hilarity
-Many adults will have already gone to bed by this time, ensuring a livid mental state when they get to the front door only to find nobody there
The boys and I went Jenking last night; I scraped my shin on the brick fence, but it was worth it to see Mr Jones go off his tree yelling obscenities out into the night.
