It's not a word. At least not in English.

Where did you read it? In what context?
It's a new, made-up word. Please Google it.

It's a new word for the phenomenon of hip people leaving Brooklyn, New York and populating new areas with their vegan, Bohemian, gluten-free lifestyles.

Google it. It's a made up word, but there is info on it online. In the dictionary, no. It's not a real word, just something people are using.

Sad. A new word, but not worthy of the dictionary, at least as far as I could find.
Then again, OMG, and other text abbreviations are now considered "words" in our culture. What's happened to the English language? :(

It's one writer's made-up word. Probably won't last long since it's limited to an area of New York, but you never know! Have you read the children's book, "Frindle" by Andrew Clements?

Thanks, does the follow sentence related name-dropping: "hasting-on-hudson is a village, in a Wittgensteinian sort of way" ?

I haven't. Maybe I should.
So, when I'm published I can make up my own words? Cool! I think that dingledorf should be a word. The definition is a child or animal that doesn't listen, and acts silly. :)

Seriously, write so that you're understood. Otherwise why bother posting?

That is from a New York Times article. It is comparing a New York City where these people are moving to a philosopher.

I guess that would make sense in light of this: Wittgenstein used the term "language-game" to designate forms of language simpler than the entirety of a language itself, "consisting of language and the actions into which it is woven." (Wikipedia) For him, language was very fluid.

It's a cute book about a boy who makes up a new name for a pen, calling it a Frindle, and how it spreads like wildfire. Great book for a 4th grader! I'll go into my shed and find my copies.

Thanks! I wasn't seeing it the same way, but yours is much better!!

Sounds great. My daughter would probably like it, even though she's no longer in the 4th grade. She's so advanced now. ;)

From the online Urban Dictionary --
A dingledorf is someone of supposed average intelligence, but makes incredibly brainless misjudgments. They are the kind of people that even the Pope could strangle with his bare hands. They make you grab you head and scream for murder. They will test you to your limits of humanity.

Wenn sie nicht propier Englisch sprechen wollten, dan bitte sage nichts. Ich kann dich gar nicht verstehen. Kannst du mich jetzt verstehen?

I read it to my 4th graders, but I think the 6th grade teachers had the kids read it.

I've asked him to do that a few times, and he started being even more perverse. So I figured two can play that game, and I posted in German. If he won't make himself understood, why should I?
