Probably the most stupid thing you will ever see in this world. If you see something stupider than that, you can kill yourself. Planking is recognized by some as a "sport", -which I say, if they insist calling it a sport, then it's gotta be the only sport americans can practice.-

It consists in one dumb moron laying down with his face on the floor. Believe it or not, one person got killed while practicing this "sport".
Matt: Hey Steve, have you seen the pictures of me planking?

Get the Planking mug.
An excersise that tones and strengthens the users core abdominal muscles. You lie down on your front supported from touching the floor by your forearms, your feet assume the position they would if you were doing press-ups (push-ups US) You must then remain in the position, without allowing your body to sag for as long as possible.

As this is a timed excersise it is often used as a competition between people - whoever can do it for the longest time wins! Anything above 3 minutes is good, 6 minutes excellent.

Tom: Lets do this!

The internet craze that is sweeping the nation. Planking is for people who travel, are not athletic in any way, and who want to be noticed on the internet. It is the most disgraceful trend humanity has ever allowed themselves to do.
Ben: "Hey, I saw your planking pose on youtube, where were you?"
Kyle: "Oh, just on the Seattle Space Needle"
Ben: "Kyle, planking is for dumb faggots who aren't athletic, but their IQ is about the same number as their shoe size."

Get the Plank mug.
The stupidest fucking act ever where you lay on your stomach with your hands at your sides and stretch your fingers and feet downward and then post a picture of it on facebook. Many people choose to do this across a building, car roof, the ground, on another person, or on an animal.
Dude, I'm not the only one that hates planking, Ray William Johnson does too!
