clink
Champagne flutes touching
Clink is the short, sharp sound of hard objects striking together—glasses touching in a toast, coins dropping, keys jingling: They clinked their champagne flutes.
The word imitates the sound it describes.
Separately, the clink is slang for jail or prison, from a famous London prison called the Clink: He spent six months in the clink.
