Conversation #12 – A word named Yoink

In which the word yoink is discussed and we never quite obtain a satisfactory reason why

Greg says:

yoink

A Kenny by any other name says:

How do you mean

Greg says:

Yoink is what I mean

A Kenny by any other name says:

Ah. Yoink

A Kenny by any other name says:

But doesn’t yoink imply action?

A Kenny by any other name says:

Some sort of cheeky form of theft?

A Kenny by any other name says:

Your statement is incomplete is my point

Greg says:

Impish reassignment of property might be a better way of putting it

A Kenny by any other name says:

As the yoinkee I’m gonna stick with the theft version thanks

Greg says:

Bah

Greg says:

And who said you were the yoinkee?

A Kenny by any other name says:

Well if not I then who?

Greg says:

Don’t you mean whom?

A Kenny by any other name says:

I neither know nor care. Answer the question or be gnawed by hungry hungry hippos

Greg says:

I don’t accept the premise is my point

A Kenny by any other name says:

?

Greg says:

That all yoinks must have a victim.

A Kenny by any other name says:

Well maybe minor yoinks may be victimless but this is significant

Greg says:

Since when?

A Kenny by any other name says:

You bother me with trifles?

Greg says:

Eh?

A Kenny by any other name says:

Why IM me if it was of no significance

Greg says:

The yoink needed to enter the public domain

A Kenny by any other name says:

Yet wasn’t important?

Greg says:

Not in its origin

A Kenny by any other name says:

In its symbolism?

Greg says:

In personal significance

Greg says:

Now de-yoinked I feel cleansed!

A Kenny by any other name says:

git

Greg says:

And you
