yoink

A word coined for "The Simpsons." It is the noise made by one of the characters in the show when they swipe or grab an object away from another character. The word was created by longtime Simpsons writer George Meyer, who claims that he was inspired by The Flintstones in coining the word.

Homer said yoink when he grabbed the hot dog from Bart.
