Bonking...

How do you reckon that word became part of our language? The word came up today…never mind how…and I thought once more what a weird word it is especially as it basically means striking or hitting. I know - it’s probably used most when it comes to sex.

So, when you think about it sex and bodies colliding make sense, sex can drive you bonkers sometimes and the ‘bald prehistoric boy? I dunno… that’s just weird. Bonking. Interesting word. I wonder who was the first human to say ‘bonk’? Yeah, I ponder on a lot of odd things.
