Plinking (sometimes pronounced "P-Linking") stands for "Priority Linking" and is a fundamental technique to getting the most out of your combos. It makes difficult combos much easier to achieve.
The Technique
Plinking is done by dancing across two or more buttons in rapid succession exactly one-sixtieth (1/60) of a second, or one frame, apart. It sounds a lot harder than it really is. However, it is typically very difficult to perform on controllers apart from an arcade stick because of the button layout and design on most pads (i.e. standard Xbox 360/PS3 controller). The catch is that it only works if a higher priority command is input first.
