The act of lying face down in an extremely rigid state, with arms and legs straight, hence resembling a wooden 'plank'. Recent, hard-hitting fad in particular throughout Australia. Has been known to be lethal if participated in irrisponsibly, however the fad involves competition of participators composed of the danger/difficulty of the particular plank. Despite this, planking can be embraced by the begginner to the advanced, with potential planking surfaces ranging from the ground to on top of moving vehicles. However many plankers choose to rest the head on one surface and the feet on another, hence creating a bridgelike 'plank'.

Planked - Hit with the ugly stick
by Herbert Schweffe February 23, 2021
Proof that humanity has sunk to its lowest point in history thus far. It is the act of lying completely flat across pretty much anything in an urban setting. A friend will take pictures of the act and, of course, post them on Facebook or Twitter. Much favored by hipsters, douchebags, and the like. This trend is currently sweeping the internet, reason: unknown.
Proof that literally ANYTHING can catch on if enough idiots think it is "cool".

Normal person: "You guys are fucking stupid."
