A Salty Dink is a celebrated but often detested shot in the growing sport of Pickleball.
A Salty Dink occurs when a regular dink hits the net and barely drops to the other side, making it an unexpected and almost impossible shot for the opponents to return.

Get the Dink finkmug. 1. Verb: To play pickleball, typically with enthusiasm and a slight obsession.
"Ever since Karen retired, she just dinks all day."
2. Noun: The act of playing pickleball, or a pickleball game / series of games.
"Work has been super stressful lately. I could really use a nice afternoon dink."
3. Verb: To perform a soft, strategic shot in pickleball that arcs just over the net and lands in the opponent’s kitchen. Used to seduce your opponent into a cat-and-mouse game of patience and finesse.
"Don’t try to smash it, man—just dink that in niiiice and easy."
Origin:
From the satisfying "dink!" sound the paddle makes when hitting a soft shot. Also because "pickleballing" just doesn’t have the same ring.
