I love the word. I use it pretty often. Sad to find out that its not a real word tho... I looked on urban dictionary and I gotta agree with these. 1: Dingus: Another word for a spaz. NOTE: a dingus is NOT a stupid person, because a dingus is someone who can make you laugh by doing stupid THINGS, but they are not stupid people. a stupid person is an idiot. idiot and dingus are different. 2: A person who is exceptionally goofy or awkward in nature, but in an endearing and lovable way.
