Planking is a fad in which people lay face down, usually on a flat surface but also in stranger locations:

Manny Pacquiao is a Filipino boxer who was defeated by Mexican boxer, Juan Manuel Marquez, by Knockout (KO) on December 8, 2012. Due to the KO, Pacquiao did his own version of “planking,” as he laid unconscious on the canvas.

One thing Meyhem Lauren doesn’t like is stank pussy. Girls with the stank tuna, get thrown out right away.

To make sure the girl’s pussy doesn’t reek, Meyhem does a simple finger test to get a good idea of what he’s dealing with. Bacalao is dried, salted codfish and it’s known for having a strong, smelly, fishy odor. If the fingers come back smelling like bacalao, the bitch has to go.
