Clinking

The practice of web-browsing for information or pleasure by clicking a link on one page and then again on the page that opens, usually drifting from topic to topic as takes the reader's interest. While the term clinking is used commonly to refer to all web browsing, it is used more frequently in regards to browsing Wikipedia.

Also known less commonly as 'Playing six degrees of separation'.

An amalgamation of the words clicking and link.

"I was clinking my way through Wikipedia last night. I looked up 'Unions' for school then clinked my way through metal workers, train track making and ended up on this page about a guy who actually survived a steel rod into his brain."

Clinking of Glasses 

To toast, cheers, or touch glasses of any type of alcohol together with your drinking partner(s) in the spirit of goodwill, health, luck, or congratulations.

In many cultures, it's considered to be good luck to make eye contact when doing so (and bad luck not to).

Some people also follow a tradition of tapping the bar with the glass after clicking glasses (and before drinking) to express fondness for the business/bar and the people who work there.

A few examples of what's said during the clinking of glasses; each culture/group has their own:

- Cheers!
- Salud!
- Tchin Tchin!
- Slainte
- May the best of your yesterdays be the worst of your tomorrows.
- Sweethearts and wives (may they never meet)
