What is Sharking?

When a guy is very obviously chatting up a girl, it can be referred to as sharking, and be accompanied by the hand gesture (a shark's fin above your head with your hand. The hand gesture can also be used alone, oh so slyly... When a girl is sharking a guy, this is known as reverse sharking, and the gesture changes to a rotating hand, or you could say "R E V E R S E" (a la Holly Valance in those adverts).

That guy was SOOOO sharkin' you then...

Sharking - what is it?

The act of continuing to work, move around, or accomplish tasks in an attempt to put off the inevitable physical crash that you know is coming, in order to be able to finish something important, such as driving home after work, or finish a critical school or work assignment on a tight deadline. Because much like a shark, the moment you stop moving, you're going to collapse into a puddle and drown.

"How are you doing."
"I'm really sharking hard right now. Gotta keep moving enough to finish these few things. Then I can stop and rest."

Sharking - what does it mean?

Sharking is the technique with which one seeks out a sexual partner or "shark bait". When you see someone you would like to shark "putting on your fin" is the term used. This is imitating a shark fin on your head.

When a shark has been initiated another sharker cannot go for the same shark bait.

Katlin: "I've just seen a really hot man, I'm totally sharking him tonight....."
Colette: "Damn"
Wasfi: "Mate, this place is totally full of shark bait, my fin is on"

Sharking - meaning

To sneak up behind someone wearing a hoodie, then inverting the hood on said hoodie, thus making it appear as though the person now has a shark fin on their back.

This can then be accompanied with shouts of 'SHARKED! SHARKED!' at the victim while simulating a shark fin on your own forehead.

You can also mock them further by, for example asking 'what is your favourite film?' and then hilariously answering it yourself with the response 'JAWS?!'

Sharking was invented by Tom Brown in 2010.

'SHAAAAAAAAAAARRRKKKKKKKKEEEEDDDDDD'

'Let's go sharking!'

Sharking - definition

(v) Recently discovered, the Universal Studios shark from the Jaws tourist photo op has the ability for skilled annual pass holders to go inside the shark for their photo. Most tourists will stop and go "ooooh!!!" since the majority of people stick their head into the shark or stand next to it. Inspired by a photo of Steven Speilberg in a shark (named after his lawyer, Bruce) a super cool annual pass holder known only as "nutterbutter" started the trend in 2009.

To "shark" one must go inside the shark with their legs in the mouth and hang upside down. This is an alternative to planking.

Tourist: Oh look let's take ze picture vith ze shark! Oh oh ohhh!! look ze girl iz in ze shark!!

Girl: I'm sharking!!!

Sharking

The act of keeping yourself moving or busy in order to stay awake and alert when you're very tired: Just as a shark needs to keep moving to keep breathing, you need to keep moving to stay awake and alert - otherwise you would go quiet and start to droop and slouch as tiredness sets in. Thrashing onwards like a shark will fight off the tiredness.

"I've been sharking all day today. I'm so tired but it had to be done."

"I sharked for the entire day today! I really hope I can get to sleep earlier tonight...."

"Sharking is hard. I'm tired. Someone slap me, please."

Sharking

Sharking is a theory developed to do with the coming on to a guy or girl. Sharks hunt alone and stay away from dolphins which are in packs. They have the killer instinct and so know how to seal the deal. The Basking shark is someone who is only learning the skills, the hammerhead is someone that goes in head first and yet still somehow manages to score. The great white is something of beauty, what they do is almost a vision to watch as they always get what they want, never get rejected and yet do it with finesse. Its something that can only be taught to a certain extent, everyone has the killer instinct, they just need to learn how to use it!!!

Heather is out sharking again, she's totally going to shark John tonight....poor guy isn't going to know what hit him!
