Crazy or crazy in the head. Derived from half French half Vietnamese. Boocoo (Beaucoup) Dien cai dau (Crazy, or literally "crazy head").
A phrase used by Vietnamese street vendors to American GI's to suggest that GI's bargaining offer is crazy. Before Americans stepped onto Vietnamese soil the French were there for around 150 years so their influence can be seen.

1) GI: I will give you 10 cents for that pack of 555 Cigarettes.
Street vendor: "boocoo dinky dau or beaucoup dien cai dau", see-ga-ret phip-tin xu (cigarettes, fifteen cents/piasters).
2) Michael J. Fox: I told them, and they don't care!
Sean Penn: You dinky dau, man, you're "boocoo dinky dau or beaucoup dien cai dau"!! (You're crazy man, you're very crazy in the head!!)
No reference to chicken as suggested by some online interpretation. Although the Sino-Vietnamese word for the Chinese zodiac rooster is Dau there are two kinds of Ds in the Vietnamese language 1) a hard D as in the word Dick, Don, dog; and a soft D prounounce as a Y in the beginning of a word as in Young, yearn, year. The zodiac rooster is with the soft D as in "Yau" not the same as the hard D as in Dau, head.

Get the dinklebot mug.pinky dinky is a small penis or "dinky" as some girls will call it, usually the girl will look at her own pinky finger or her thumb and she will laugh if your dick is the same size or smaller
Tiffanie looked down and saw that his dick was even smaller than her thumb. She almost choked with laughter but tried to remain calm. She quickly realized her thumb was bigger than Travis' pinky dinky. She started to laugh, but needed a ride home so she caught herself. The following week, every girl in high school would not date Travis unless they were interested in small penises.
