dingled

Dingled, is a word simply used when a person makes a a small blunder to a catastrophic error.

The word is used around the country but heard most around the Norfolk and Suffolk area as this is where it originated from.

A name believed to have derived from a Mr Peter Dingle living in the Norwich area who was renowned for innocently causing mayhem where ever went.

To include blocking major roads, shutting down entire supermarkets, knocking out a whole city’s telecoms to simply putting a nail through his foot and this was all down to just bad luck.

So if you were to superglue your hand to your head?

Or

If you were to leave your luggage unattended for 2 minutes and have it is removed by the bomb squad?

.....then you have 'Dingled'

Dingle

Dingle is a polish greeting that dates back to the 19th century. Participants touch the tips of their index fingers together and say "Dingle!"
Dingaling for the first time is huge honor and privilege which essentially costimates the friendship of the participants, as it is believed that energy flows in and out of the finger tips.
Dingle can be a one on one activity or a group activity.

As of the 2000's Dingle is dying out but there are still those of us who are trying to keep it alive.
