From old Norse "hinkr" hesitation, "hinka" limp, to Norwegian "hinke" jump along on one foot. Hence the saying "Det er bedre å hinke til Romerike enn å ronke til Himmerike", of which the English equivalent could be "It's better to hink your way to Weavan than to wank your way to Heaven".
To cancel on a previously agreed to social engagement at the last minute. This is analogous to standing up a date but applies more to friends and couples who have made plans together.
Also, a hinker routinely cancels at the last minute. My parents introduced me to this term in the 1970s. They used it among their friends who were all stationed in Germany with the US Air Force in the 1960s. Maybe it has a German origin??? Anyway, it is a handy word for this situation.
Helen and Barry said they were coming to dinner tonight, but they hinked at the last minute. They are such hinkers! They always hink out on us.
A variation of the common male wink from across the room that causes females to moisten their lips and gravitate to a male as if a moth to the flame.
In order to perform, one must lick their lips, bite the bottom, and smile in that order while catching the eye of a female, then quickly wink the right eye while continuing to maintain eye contact.
WARNING: May cause head trauma to victim after fall due to pleasure that has been optically transferred to female in question.
