KotH debuted in the 90s as well. But I am fairly certain I have seen yoink used in comic books as an action word well before either show. |

It looks like The Simpsons also gave it the commonly accepted meaning. Etymology 1 Verb
Noun yoink (plural yoinks)
Interjection yoink
Etymology 2 Coined by writer George Meyer for the TV show The Simpsons; perhaps from yank, or imitative of the sound effect (a quick upward slide on a violin) that accompanies something being snatched in classic comedies. Interjection yoink
Verb yoink (third-person singular simple present yoinks, present participle yoinking, simple past and past participle yoinked)
