The act of placing ones body in such a way in which arms are by the plankers side & all limbs are at full extension often performed on a unanimous object. The object in which the planker chooses to plank on is entirely the plankers choice, although the more unique the object often the better the plank. The planker usually immortalize the plank with a picture.

the competitive sport of "active lying down", with its origins in Australia, though it has quickly spread to much of the Western World. The sport is played by plankers, who are typically hardcore, thrill-seeking hombres with a passion for lying down and keeping still.

Planking involves plankers, who lie face-down, with their arms to the side whilst having their picture taken. It is especially popular to plank in public or humourous places.
Often "planking pictures" are uploaded to facebook to bring joy to the people.

But the planking has become more than the act of lying down in front of a camera. For whatever reason, this simple act has induced a moral panic. Policemen and Politicitians are anti-planking. The Australian ranga PM is an anti-planker. She is also female.

Planking has become an idea. No policitian or policeman can tell a planker not to plank. It is the new punk movement. But more fun and planker. Haters keep hating, plankers keep planking.

to lay face down flat with nose on ground and arms by your side to resemble a plank of wood. Not to be confused with a suprised planker or an hopeful homo planker. Extreme planking is the performance of planking in a dangerous or illegal place i.e on a police car or sign or high ledge.

To perform a suprised planker simply sneak up on a planking person and jam/stick any number of fingers into their asshole.
A hopeful homo planker is one who planks in the hope of becoming a surpised planker i.e lays down to plank well knowing and hoping to have fingers pushed against their asshole.
