A cheerfully British slang term for sexual intercourse — casual, breezy, and distinctly un-American in its refusal to take the act too seriously. 'Bonking' strips away both the clinical and the salacious, landing somewhere in the zone of affectionate humor. It was particularly popularized in British tabloid culture in the 1980s and 90s, where headlines about celebrity 'bonking' scandals were practically a genre of their own. Still widely understood and used in British English today as a lighthearted way to talk about sex.
The tabloids had a field day with the politician's bonking scandal.
