Discourse on dingbats and dingleberries...
Edited on Fri Feb-20-04 02:15 PM by afraid_of_the_dark
What's up with all the name calling lately?

EDIT: What constitutes dingbattiness and dingleberriness? What is the distinction between the two (i.e., how would I know if a particular DU'er is a dingbat or a dingleberry? Besides Robb, of course - I think that's fairly well established).

3. It could be worse, ya know....
Dingbat and dingleberry are actually pretty low-key.

Other insults, such as poopy head, pencil neck, and mouth-breathin'-booger-eatin'-moran haven't even been muttered lately.

But I haven't check GD Primary lately, though...

4. is a dingleberry
only a ball of poop? That is what I call the balls of poop in my dog's fur. I say "Hey, get over here and let me get that dingleberry off you."

Can a dingleberry also be those balls that develop on one's sweater? Or are those just called "kuzzies"? :shrug:

5. I always heard those referred to as 'pills'.
Lived next door to a retail major in college.

Learned some really useless clothing/retail trivia.

11. LynneSin is a dingbat; TXlib is a dingleberry.
I thought we all established that yesterday.
