A childish way of saying "idiot". Likely an extension of the word dink, which can reference a penis and an idiot simultaneously.
Origin is unknown - could it be a progression from the word "dinky" (18th century Scottish/Northern English word to be disapppointingly small, insignificant).... to the word "dink" (1930s North American, to lightly hit a ball in a sport)... to the early 1980s "dink" / "dinkling" meaning idiot/disappointingly small/penis? Could it be, that a little kid heard the last name "Dinkling", linked it with their knowledge of the word "dink" and the language evolved? Or is it just a fun word that became even more fun once it was used to call each other names with?
Likely was birthed by late Generation-X children, potentially in Western Canada. Rarely used today, but by that generation when they go deep to tap into their inner child to draw an insult.

(v.) the act of having your lover lay on his/her back, getting on your knees so you appear to be a midget, and rubbing your flaccid cock and loose hanging balls across their face.
