Come out. Come out. Wherever you are.
If we lose this one to the playground I will be mad.

Good catch. My eyes read that immediately.
Betting it's just a international phonetic corruption of the old term "ding dong" here in the States. Because Debbie wouldn't swing that way.
Hi Debbie,
A Kiwi, your like family then lol.
I'm off to the states in a few months for a holiday, going to be good
Oh. It is a word that my Uncle used to call us when we did silly things as kids.

noun Australian and New Zealand Informal.
a foolish, incompetent person.
Origin:
1940–45; probably by shortening of Australian and earlier British slang ning-nong, ning-nang fool, perhaps expressive variants of earlier nigmenog fool, of obscure origin
Thank you.
Do you have travel plans or are you just going to wing it?
You're a newbie. Have you been lurking?

Been lurking here on and off for a while. Re the states, have an itinerary, just planes to catch and places to stay, apart from that I'll look after the entertainment, or more to the point look for someone to help me![]()

Thanks for the welcome all,
re ning nong, used to hear the expression a bit such as "he's a bloody nong that bloke", others would say "look at that ning nong" eg: "look at that ning nong, couldn't drive a rabbit down a burrow that fella, let alone a car". Not heard in the vernacular much nowadays, more so from the old timers, unfortunately slang isn't as common today
