What does DING mean in Scrabble?
verb
informalNorth American
To make a small dent in something, or to make a light ringing sound like that of a bell.
A car door left open in a car park can ding the vehicle parked next to it, leaving a small dent or scratch rather than serious damage; the same word can also describe the light metallic sound of a bell or a chime, as in a lift dinging when it reaches a floor. Either way, ding suggests something small and sudden rather than a heavy blow.
