No the work they used was BONK!

I have heard the term Boink used by British for years for fucking.
<http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=boink&b=1>

I think it is derived from bonk and is more of an adjective.  I want to bonk her.  I am going to boink him.  I cannot find any real history.


No way Maaaan!!!

You obviously ain't from round these parts!

Bonk yes, and all the variations around that.

Sorry, "boink" is a corrupted figment of some imagination. That spelling isn't used here sexually. That and similar spellings might be used for describing the sound a cartoon character might make when rebounding/springing off a hard surface.


Now... How do you lot spell colour? Or is it a corruption of [dog, shirt] collar?

And get your topsy-turvy dates sorted into some logical order!

Hint:
date -R


I wonder what Boinc might mean in various other languages?...

Cheers,
Martin
