bonk

bonk
vb
British
to have sex (with). A vogue word of the late 1980s; first heard in the late 1970s and quickly picked up by the media as a useful, vigorous, but printable euphe-mism for fuck. (The word was first broad-cast in a British TV comedy series; at a later date, the tennis champion Boris Becker was dubbed 'Bonking Boris' by the gutter press.) It is a childish synonym for 'hit'; the sexual sense may derive from the sound of energetic bouncing. Alter-natively, an extended correspondence in Private Eye magazine suggested that this had long been a schoolboy term meaning to masturbate or ejaculate. It may also be significant that the immediately prece-dent vogue word for copulate among teenagers was knob, which in backslang would give bonk.
► 'They do call it bonking after all, which, as everyone knows, is THE word used by promiscuous people who DON'T REALLY LIKE SEX.' (Julie Burchill, Elle magazine, December 1987)
