boings
Coil noises, cartoon-style
Boings is the plural of boing, the cartoon sound effect of something bouncy or springy—a diving board, a coiled spring, a rubber ball.
The word imitates the vibrating twang of elastic recoil: The pogo stick made satisfying boings as she bounced down the sidewalk.
As a verb, boings means moves with this springy quality: The kangaroo boings across the field.
