- Well, I don't know the origin of the _word_. I'd heard "boink"
- used as a synonym for "fuck" a time or two before it got applied to
- soc.singles parties. But I believe Peter Korn gets credit for first
- using "boink" in this way, having named the 1st West Coast Boink. And
- what ever happened to Peter? Anyone know where he's at?

- 7.5 - that's a good score, I'm conservative :-). My suggestion:
- powerful drugs. Saying nasty things about Parisians might also earn you
- a point or two. But whatever you do, don't ask her to play Yachtzee.
