    I was on a bus tour recently of Dingle Bay and its surroundings. Sitting behind me was a group of teenagers from the US. This is what I overheard...

    "Yeah, when I heard it was called Dingle, I was like Dingle? There's a place called Dingle? [Beavis]Huh huh huh huh huh... Dingle[/Butthead]"

    So, is Dingle funny?

    This is probably why they thought it was funny. (Warning - gross!) Not funny for Irish people, though.

    That's the funniest thing ever! The thought of Faust sitting at home scratching his head wondering why somebody would start a thread and then 4 posts later denounce it for being a **** thread.

    Faust, I refer you to simu's link.

    No, it's not funny. Funny would be Mianus or Intercourse or any of the ones mentioned in the FHM year planner.

    What I think is funny is imagining the conversations people must have been having that led to them coining the word "dingleberry"!

    where I come from we call them dangleberries (which makes a whole lot more sense) Can also be used to describe them bum grapes (haemywhatsits)

    People say that in England? I thought it was an American word... maybe that's where the English got it?
