jinkies
Eureka-like discovery word
Jinkies is an exclamation of surprise or discovery, associated with the character Velma in the Scooby-Doo cartoon franchise.
Like zoinks and jeepers, it's a mild, playful interjection used when stumbling upon something unexpected: Jinkies, I found a clue!
Outside nostalgic or ironic contexts, it sounds deliberately campy.
