Dingle is a polish greeting that dates back to the 19th century. Participants touch the tips of their index fingers together and say "Dingle!"
Dingaling for the first time is huge honor and privilege which essentially costimates the friendship of the participants, as it is believed that energy flows in and out of the finger tips.
Dingle can be a one on one activity or a group activity.
As of the 2000's Dingle is dying out but there are still those of us who are trying to keep it alive.
