Dingleberry?

by Iteach

Have you ever used a word and then come to find out you were using the word wrong?

Some where down the road, I heard the word dingleberry being used in a sentence. I just assumed it meant that someone was being goofy. So that is how I always used that word.

So-so stop being a dingleberry!

You are such a dingleberry!

No one said anything to me when I called them one, until my principal did.

One day we were in the office and he was being goofy.

So I said, "Mr. Ackman you are such a dingleberry".

He looked at me and said "Gross, no I'm not".

Then I said, "There is nothing gross about being a dingleberry, your just being goofy".

That is when he told me the real meaning of a dingleberry. I so freaked out. I had no idea it meant that piece of poop that hangs from your bottom.

My mouth hit the floor and my face turned red. I stood there and thought of all the times I called someone that name!

Yikes!
