An ice cream man, a man who sells ice cream from a truck. So named because of the bell that is used to summon customers to the truck.

Mom, I hear the dingleman. Can I have some money for a popsicle?

1. The vulture was waiting for a place in the front row, even though there were plenty of places open in the next row.

pill bug

(n) a sow bug, a harmless terrestrial isopod commonly found under rocks and in soil. Also called a roly poly. So called because the critter rolls up into a tight little pill when you poke it.

I waited for a long time, and finally the pill bug unrolled and crawled away.
