Boink is informal for having sex, often with a playful or casual tone: They've been boinking for months.
The word sounds cartoonish, like a sound effect, which gives it a lighthearted quality compared to cruder alternatives.
Boink can also mean to hit or bump something, though the sexual sense dominates in contemporary usage.
