This chestnut does the rounds on alt.usage.english every year.
Basically, in the US, boink is a verb synonymous with copulate, as I
understand it. In Britain, the equivalent is 'bonk'. Here (UK), 'boink'
has no sexual connotations whatsoevr, except in so far as certain
Americans try to make innuenduous jokes about our activities during a
boink.
