/bonk/ , /oyf/ , interj. In the U.S. MUD community, it has become
|
|
|
|
|
traditional to express pique or censure by bonking the offending person.
|
|
|
|
|
Convention holds that one should acknowledge a bonk by saying oif! and there
|
|
|
|
|
is a myth to the effect that failing to do so upsets the cosmic bonk/oif
|
|
|
|
|
balance, causing much trouble in the universe. Some MUDs have implemented
|
|
|
|
|
special commands for bonking and oifing. Note: in parts of the U.K. bonk is
|
|
|
|
|
a sexually loaded slang term; care is advised in transatlantic conversations
|
|
|
|
|
(see boink ). Commonwealth hackers report a similar convention involving the
|
|
|
|
|
fish/bang balance. See also talk mode.
