planks
Flat wooden lengths
Planks are long, flat pieces of sawed lumber, thicker than boards.
They form floors, decks, and walkways.
In politics, a plank is a principle or policy forming part of a party's platform: The candidate ran on a plank of tax reform.
To plank something is to set it down firmly: She planked the money on the counter.
The plank is also a fitness exercise—holding your body rigid and horizontal, supported on forearms and toes.
