Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
- tending to wink; winking
2009 July 12, Susann Cokal, “Bleak Housekeeping”, in New York Times:
- Dickens aficionados will delight in winky references to his novels, as well as to his biography: Jenny Wren of “Our Mutual Friend” lends a nickname to Miss Ricketts; Alfred’s brother’s name is Sydney (as in Carton); and the One and Only’s death has left a “Drood”-like novel unfinished, occasioning wild speculation about its conclusion.
