Dim Toning 

Setting your favourite song as your ring tone and then, after months of hearing it over and over again through your phone's bass-hating speakers, growing to hate it through too much repetition
"Isn't this your favourite song?"

"No, I can't stand it anymore. I set it as my ring tone and after four months of hearing just the chorus I cracked."

"Gutted. That's some pretty dim toning on your part."

"Yeah."

"What have you got as your ring tone now?"

"Why are we talking about ring tones?"

"We must just be losers."

"Bastard."

The opposite of 'bright'.
1) Little Tim is rather dim because he can't spell very well.

2) The room's kinda dim; you might need to change the light bulb.

The non-sarcastic equivalent of a bright idea. Basically, an idea that is obviously stupid and not very bright/smart.
Joe had the dim idea to try to drive 500 miles in a car with a bad transmission. As a result, the car broke down and his ass got stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Akin to its sister phrases the Deep Web and Dark Web, the Dim Web refers to the parts of the Internet hosted on social media sites that have completed their process of enshittification.

These sites are usually devoid of original thought or content and only the dimmest users remain. The sites also often require the user to log in to view any content to maximise user tracking and profits.
