Hinky Pinky is a word game we used to play on long car trips... first as kids and later as parents with our kids. Here is an educational web site that explains the rules quite well. For our purposes here, let's stick to the 24-hour rule and winner posts the next Hinky Pinky.

(the current active one from Twinpikes is what's a Hitinkety Pitinkety for a very hungry extremely fertile woman? .. when it's guessed please post the new Hinky Pinky here)

Both words end with 'cious.'

No. "Confection" isn't one of the words, though it's the first letter of the hinkety, which refers to the buffet in a term not specific to desserts, though it's usually more abundant there than in other foods (if that helps).
