Gank energy is the aura someone gives off when they're clearly plotting an ambush, moving suspiciously quietly, or generally positioning themselves to take you by surprise. In gaming it's the feeling you get from a jungler who's been offline for 90 seconds and your ward just expired. In real life it applies to the person at work who's been too quiet all week before dropping a bombshell in the meeting, or the friend who says 'I have a surprise' with an expression that should not be trusted.
He's been silent in chat for three minutes — that's pure gank energy, everyone back up.
