Plunjing

Plunjing is a term that can refer to several distinct activities, often involving a sudden and forceful movement downwards. In diving, "plunjing" describes a dive where the diver enters the water headfirst with arms extended above their head, creating a streamlined entry. This technique is often used for speed and to minimize splash.

In the context of financial markets, "plunjing" is a colloquial term for a sharp and rapid decline in the price of a stock, commodity, or other asset. This can be triggered by various factors such as negative news, economic downturns, or shifts in investor sentiment. The term implies a significant and often unexpected drop.

Another usage of "plunjing" can be found in certain sports or recreational activities, such as cliff diving or high diving, where athletes execute a dive that involves a significant vertical descent before entering the water. The emphasis here is on the dramatic downward trajectory.

The word "plunjing" itself derives from the verb "to plunge," which means to move suddenly or violently downwards or forwards. The context in which "plunjing" is used will determine its specific meaning.
