For example.
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

Ah see now, they're enclosed in colons.


Except dink


Just seems like a bit of a discontinuity...

Ok, fixed that, the new dink is :dink: :dink: :dink: Does mean the old ones will have disappeared from posts, but it seemed you couldn't live without the facility :-)

No, I think you just have better things to do...

I must admit, I still don't know what it means as a "emoticon". In my world, a dink is a small dent or indentation, not sure what emotion that relates to.

Well according to Wikipedia, the following are suggested under 'slang':

  • A person of Chinese / Far-eastern origin
    D.I.N.K: Dual Income No Kids, a financial term used for couples with no kids
    A 'jerk' or 'goof'
    A euphemism for being delinquent on training
    A hypocorism for the given name Dennis
    A term used to mean "Mess With" as in "I'm going to dink with that until it works". Along similar lines, in computer science, to increment or decrement a counter. "In counting from 4 to 6, it dinks the counter two times"
    An onomatopoeia for the sound when a golf ball goes in the hole
    A fully grown person who looks like they are still dressed by their mother
    A ride given to someone on a pushbike
    Military slang for a recruit in training, "Desperately In Need of Knowledge"
    In Counter Strike and Counter Strike: Source. a dink refers to taking damage from a headshot but not dying. It is called a dink because of the sound it makes when the player is shot in the head with a helmet (It makes a sound similar to saying "Dink")
    A common reference for the short dagger known as a Dirk
I'd opt for the military one seems most likely :D

Cant say I have heard that once in the last 35 years of programming...
