      Then if you wear it you’ll be an even bigger dingus and make other dinguses look less dingusy. It would kinda be a public service of sorts I guess.

            But thats just a single dinghy.

            If you pluralize that its either dinghies or dingii?

            Meh, my autistic brain gets stuck on weird stupid shit like this.

            Its like… If you have a donut, then a second donut, you have two donuts.

            You can say two donut to be cutesy i guess?

            Very hard for me to tell when being cutesy is appropriate.

                If the root singular word is dingus, this makes sense.

                If the root singular word is dinghy, as I guess I have always said, then it does not.

                Well at least I partially understand my own confusion now, thanks!
