planking
In construction and shipbuilding, this term refers to the collective material or the process of installation. It is treated as a mass noun in these contexts, describing the surface as a whole rather than individual boards. Using "planking" instead of "planks" shifts the focus from the individual units to the continuous surface or the technical application.
In the context of the social media trend, the word functions as a gerund describing a specific activity. This usage is highly informal and culturally specific to the early 21st century, denoting a performative act of rigidity for photographic purposes.
