Jamaican term used for any erotic act which falls short of sex it self. It includes kissing, feeling up (heavy petting) and grinding (to wine or grind or girate on each other). Some people include fingering as a part of tings, while others consider it apart of sex, along with oral sex, and intercourse.
1)Girl 1: did David sleep with Janet?
Girl 2: No, they only had tings.
2)Sheree: Where did you and Dwayne disappear to at the party last night?
Dayna: we were off having tings!
A white term really, commonly used with the words "all the" or "all da" before the word tings, can be used to describe many tings really, any ting you want yo. It just lacks the opposable H.
"whats happening yo?. I say what is happa-NING? lets do all the tings".
