Answer 2

Let's go with the more innocuous definition:

Noun

dingleberry (plural dingleberries)

Vaccinium erythrocarpum, the Southern Mountain Cranberry.[1] ?[quotations ?]

1937, US Government Printing Office, Range Plant Handbook:

dingleberries, or mountain-cranberries (Huge'ria, syn. Oxycoccoi'des), cranberries (Oxycoc'cus)

1959, Gordon Webber, What end but love:

Helen sat on the ground crumbling hard lumps of clay between her fingers, and tried to imagine the green place in the swamp where the dingleberries grew.

1988, S.P. Vander Kloet, The Genus Vaccinium in North America[1], ISBN 0660130378, page 6:

Vaccinium erythrocarpum, the dingleberry, sometimes produces berries of excellent flavor, which are used locally for jellies; Uphof (1968) reports that this species has been recommended for cultivation.

innocuous definitions are no fun. and aint no one thinkin "vaccinium erythrocarpum" when they hear dingleberry lol - la-araña-discoteca, Jun 8, 2011

No! I don't believe that. There HAS to be a word for dingleberry in Spanish. It's not like latinos don't get dingleberries... lol Dingleberries don't have borders. They are an international menace.

Forgive me for resurrecting this one, as it appears to have been well-covered, but...

For those Trekkies out there, this reference has always been spot on:

The Klingons around Uranus = (long "a") works better!

Additionally, what is the Spanish word for that little moco you roll between your fingers to make it more flickable? :) Seems I recall a specific word for that very thing! - cristalino, Jun 23, 2011
