piked
Bent at waist
Piked describes a body position in diving and gymnastics where the body bends sharply at the hips while the legs remain straight: She executed a piked somersault off the platform.
The position resembles a pike—a long, pointed weapon or fish—folded in half.
In British slang, piked or piked out means backed out or quit: He piked at the last minute.
