Ann, of course, you meant 'spinking' i.e. what spinks (chaffinches) do.

Or, of course, 'dinking' or 'jinking' which is what footballers do, I believe.

What about when you make something bendy that was formerly straight? Isn't that 'kinking'?

Not to mention 'rinking', an early 20th century fad as indulged in by Agatha Christie.

I used jinking in a poem and lots of people said I made it up. It's a Scots word, I believe, for dodging and weaving...

Who is to say there aren't partsof the world where they go 'skinking', i.e. looking for skinks?
