Flank

Flank is an internet slang term used to describe the act of attacking or overwhelming someone from the side or behind, typically in online games or forums. It is often used to refer to a strategic move that catches the opponent off guard.

Examples:
1. In an online shooter game:
Player 1: Watch out for the enemy flanking from the left side!
Player 2: I got them! Don’t worry, I’ll cover our flank.

2. In a discussion forum:
User 1: I think the latest movie was disappointing.
User 2: Really? Did you consider the director’s intention behind those scenes?
User 3: User 2 just flanked User 1’s argument with a valid point.
