Planking 

The act of lying face down on an object while remaining rigid much like a plank of wood. Often, a photograph is taken of this act and posted on social media outlets. Often performed by lying on objects which are either completely awkward or dangerous, such as a basketball hoop or the middle of a road. The origins of planking can be traced back to the "lying down game" which has its roots in Japanese Anime.

Kyle: "But I will get so many comments on this picture of Facebook!"

Mike: *bertstare*

Planking 

When an individual person lays down, in a straight, face first position in an unusual place, whilst someone else takes a picture of this. These pictures are often used as profile pictures. Very popular in Australia, although frowned upon because of an unfortunate death involving a multi-story apartment and a window ledge.

planking 

Lying face down on the ground with arms to the side of the body in unusual places to get a ''wtf?'' from people who are not accustomed to this activity.

Many plankers will take pictures of their planking and post them to the Internets to arouse laughter.

Some idiots might plank in unsafe places, resulting in stupid injuries.

Danny: Hey Drogo, did you hear what happened to Viserys?

Danny: He was planking on train tracks and got hit by a train.
