Jink
To jink is to dodge something. It's also a slang term for an aircraft manoevre which dodges enemy fire. So if you spot someone in the street who you'd rather not speak to, you can jink them by turning into the nearest shop. However, they've more than likely seen you anyway. Happy jinking. And well done to Richard who got the most votes on today's poll. Excellent work, Richard.
