What is a Dinger?

As Kadizzle left Denver, Sylvie asked old Granpa what he thought of her performance. The whole trip was to see Sylvie perform in a musical. She did just fine and her career at the Denver School for the Arts is going fine. However, Grandpa does not want her head to swell too much. This all led to a conversation about Dingers. In the good old days of talent shows if the performer was terrible they would ding a bell and if need be use a stage hook to remove the performer.

So into the lexicon comes the word dinger. The word has wide application. You might see someone with a MAGA Trump hat, you are seeing a dinger. You can see dingers everywhere. It is like bird spotting, if you look you can see a dinger driving a goofy pickup truck. In the grocery store here you might see a dinger with a gun strapped to his side. At the Tea Party you can find a room full listening to paranoid stories. Give it a try, next time you are out with a friend say " Look at that dinger with a Trump flag".
