What is Gronking? Posing with an object as if you’re going to spike it, just as Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski would do with the ball in the end zone. Apparently people have been doing this since at least December, judging by all the Christmas trees being Gronked on the site Gronking.co.

And Gronking even has its own video anthem. Of sorts:

Happy birthday to the ground!

    “Gronking” sounds like something that gay inmates do to fresh fish who first arrive in prison. To use it in a sentence, “Andy Dufresne was the victim of “gronking” at Shawshank State Penitentiary when multiple inmates would corner him and sodomize AKA “gronk” him.

      I disagree. “Gronking” definitely sounds destructive and intense. Seeing the guy with the nasty look on his face “gronking” that cat brightened my day.

        Gronking is the gayest sounding thing ever. Sandusky was “Gronking” boys at the Penn State shower room. I even wrote a poem about it.
        ‘Once upon a noontime, dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
        Over many Joe Paterno volume of football lore,
        While I nodded, nearly napping, from the shower came a slapping,
        As of some one slap slap slapping at a 10 year old’s rear door.
        `’Tis some horseplay,” I muttered, “snapping towels by the shower door
        Only this, and nothing more.”

      At the very least, you could make a strong case for using it in the following context:

      “Yeah, I’d gronk the sh!t out of her.”

    Oh boy, yet another retarded fad we’ll have to sit through.
    Here’s my idea for one. I call it “thinking”, and it’s very easy to do; all you have to do is go out in public and NOT act like an immature attention whore.
    Sadly, I don’t see it catching on :(

    Nothing to see here folks – please move on.

    I love Gronking. Almost as much as I love the Men in Black II reference.

    “Happy Birthday to the ground!” — Chandler, I had no idea you were a Lonely Island fan.

    Also, my good friend on twitter @Tpeitz07 had this to say:

    “@OSBmatthew haha, I’m excited to see some of these #gronking photos #newbornbabyspike

    loved it.
