What does BOINK mean in Scrabble?
verb
informalhumorous
To boink is to bounce with a sharp, springy noise, or, informally, to hit something with that sound.
The word boink imitates the light, bouncy sound something makes when it bumps or springs against a surface, close in feel to boing. Cartoons and comics print boink as a sound effect, and casual speech extends it to a light bump or knock between objects or people. The spelling boink is also used as a joking euphemism in some slang, but the bouncing sense is the one most dictionaries record first.
