verb. A blend of ‘you’ and ‘ink’. To produce something in great number, usually clothing. The term originally stems from the prolific work of copywriters of London’s Fleet Street in the 19th century. These advertising writers used to be paid by the word, and the more they yinked, the more they got paid. Obviously their motivation to yink a lot was quite high, and the biggest yinkers were sometimes simply referred to as The Yink.
