doink

Ball hits post

Doink is a playful word for a light impact or the sound it makes—something bouncing off a surface or bonking gently: The ball doinked off the rim.

It can also mean a small mistake or blunder: I made a real doink on that form.

In crude slang, doink sometimes means to have sex.
