Phil Jackson Said Some Nonsense About the Urban Dictionary Definition of "Goink"

Phil Jackson did a friendly interview with the New York Times about the state of the Knicks. (Spoiler alert: Not great!) During the interview, he was asked about a tweet from May that featured a typo. Phil Jackson being Phil Jackson tried to explain it as something more than a typo? It’s really not clear. From the New York Times:

"Q. In the middle of the playoffs, you took to Twitter to ask N.B.A. analysts to give you “some diagnostics” on how 3-point-oriented teams were faring. It struck most as a criticism of teams like the Warriors who take a lot of 3-point shots. You asked, “How’s it goink?” What was that about? JACKSON: They have all these analysts. I just wanted to see someone come back to me with statistics: Is 3-point shooting in the playoffs as consistent as it is in the regular season? Does your 3-point-shooting percentage change because you’re in the playoffs? No one figured that one out. And that’s probably me being obtuse to leave it open at the end. But “goink” is one of those New York expressions that we use, and I will tell you this: I learned something. Someone sent me the fact that if you look it up on Urban Dictionary, you’ll find out what it means in today’s society. Q. Should I look? JACKSON: Well, it’s rather bizarre to say the least. Q. So it wasn’t just a typo? JACKSON: “Goink” is a castoff expression, right? Instead of, “How’s it going?,” it’s, “How’s it goink?” It turned out to be either a combination of a mixed ethnic group: part Korean, part Chinese. Or it’s a vernacular term for how do you deal with a sexual partner. Q. That was not your intention though? JACKSON: No, I had no idea."

Urban Dictionary has a few definitions for “goink” ranging from the derogatory to the nonsensical to the sexual. So seriously, what the hell is Phil Jackson even talking about? Sometimes you run a shitty organization and sometimes your tweets have typos.
