What does DINGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A small dent or depression in a surface, especially in metal, caused by a knock or impact.
A car door often gets a dinge from a shopping cart or a careless neighbor swinging their own door open too fast, leaving a shallow mark without breaking the paint. The word can also work as a verb, so that a careless driver might dinge a bumper while parking. It is an informal, everyday word, more casual than the more general term dent.
