An idiotic fad in which kids lay flat across a surface with arms at sides, chin up and toes pointed. Although, half of them just lay across the surface.. Then post pictures of this act on social networking sites such as facebook, thinking it makes them cool.
John: "Ayeee, look at the kid planking on the feild goal post!"
Scott: "Dude, that's the stupidest thing i've ever seen. I hope he falls."

An act of lying face down atop an object, landmark, animal or other person, then stiffening one's form so that one's arms are firmly held by one's side and toes are pointed; taking on the physical characteristics of a plank.
Planking is usually recorded and uploaded to social networking sites to gain kudos for the level of comedy, aesthetic or endangerment accomplished in execution.
It is said to have originated in Adelaide, South Australia.

Laying and balancing horizontally on random objects in attempt to boost swag. Pictures are usually taken to capture the erect posture you hold whilst in the act of planking.
Lawrence: "Bro I was Planking on a garbage can last week"
Ragu: "Did you snag a pic?"
Lawrence: "Heck yes! I was as stiff as a black man's sausage."
Ragu: "RADICAL BRO."

When one lies on their stomach with their hands directly at their sides and with their head pointed downwards. This is done for fun, and the point is to come up with creative places to do it, such as on top of a chimney or over public restroom stall(s). Pictures of one planking make ideal profile pictures.
Q: That kid is just randomly lying flat like a pencil on top of that diving board while his friend is taking a picture of him, what is going on?
A: That kid on the diving board is planking.

The absolute stupidest shit ever. Come on, who finds this entertaining? I'd rather get my face ground off with fine-grit sandpaper. Slowly.
If you were wondering what it actually is, it's just a bunch of wierdos who have nothing to do but find the most weird-ass places to lay face-down. I saw this guy planking on the top of a McDonald's sign once. Just don't plank, it's so stupid and makes you look like a loser. Don't even get me started with owling.

When a person lays down straight with hands next to them on any object and poses for a picture to upload online and get a risk rating. Can be done singular or in groups.
