Dingen is a Dutch word that can literally be translated as "Things" or "Stuff" - being the plural of the Dutch word "Ding" (thing).

Dingen can be used very effectively as a placeholder word for when you do not what to say, or forget the word that you wanted to say. Here, the versatility of Dingen presents itself - becoming a replacement for any word in existence.
Scenario 1:

Man 1: "Honey, where did you keep the dingen?"

Woman 1: "I kept the dingen on the dingen next to the other dingen"

Man 1: "Ahh of course, that definitely clarifies dingen"

Scenario 2

Person 1: "Do you like going to concerts?"

Person 2: "Dat is mijn lieblings dingen te doen (that's my favourite thing to do)"

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
