The TV show Cheers used to regularly use the term BOINCed in place of
the word "fuck." Sam would say things like "I'm going to BOINC her
tonight" to indicate what he wanted to do with the latest floozy in
his life.
And you people *adopted* that disguised F-word as an acronym?
The slang term you're thinking of is "boink", not "boinc". Its first use on
the net, probably, was back in the late eighties in soc.singles. Ah, the
good old days. It was definitely *not* Satanic. Pretty lame trolling,
really.
