Get the planking mug.Planking is the action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, on top of objects and photographing it. The more dangerous the plank, the better the planker you are.
James got arrested after planking on a police car. Dangerous plank.
Sarah thought it was a great idea to plank on top of a display at the grocery store. Until it came tumbling down. Unstable plank.
I saw this guy planking on top of a billboard on my way to work yesterday. Good one!

Get the Planking mug.Planking is a fad that involves people lying "like a plank" in various random places, such as on top of poles and on public transport. The aim is to be as creative as possible.
Planking began as an obscure fad in South Australia. It gained notority when a "planker" in Brisbane, Australia was intoxicated and planked on the side of a balcony, subsequently falling to his death.
Plankers are encouraged to be creative but safe.

Girl: Did I show you the picture of the planker on the railway tracks?
Guy: Yeah, right after you showed me the pic of the host of the morning show planking on her couch.
Guy 1: Steve planked on a paint can on the weekend. You could see the mark on his stomach afterwards.
Guy 2: Bet he was drunk.

Get the Planking mug.That mental urge you get after a hard day at work. Very similar to tickling the pickle but ultimately better.

Get the a-plucking mug.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'.
