sploot

Flat belly stretch

Sploot describes the way an animal lies flat with its hind legs stretched out behind rather than tucked underneath—a posture common in corgis, frogs, and other creatures.

The word emerged from internet pet culture and functions as both noun and verb: The corgi splooted on the cool tile floor, Look at that sploot!
