Harvey’s Bristol Cream!

What better time for a hip beverage like that than in the 1970's, right?

Here's a Christmas commercial for Harvey's Bristol Cream. This aired on local Chicago TV on Wednesday, December 10th 1980.

Dink!

[ There is a website with ALL of these called Bart’s Blackboard ]

I did some research to see if my childhood use of the word “dink” to mean “penis” was something other people did, or if it was just regional to my state/city/school/self. Here is some of what I found:

“A contemptuous term used to refer to a Southeast Asian, especially a Vietnamese.” (dictionary.com)

“A New England term referring to someone being an asshole or an idiot.” (urbandictionary.com)

“Penis” (Yay! only it’s WAY down the list at onlineslangdictionary.com… and just about everything else above it refers back to being a dork, dumbass, loser, fool, idiot, jerk, or any combination thereof.

Even Wikipedia, thankfully, does have “a term for the penis” included in its many meanings. But it, like many other online sources, wants to mainly refer to the acronym DINK, coined in the 1980s, which was a term for the growing financial demographic of childless couples: “Double Income, No Kids.”

And here is a blog post from 2012 at The Art Of Doing Stuff where author Karen is in the EXACT same situation where she thought, like me, it was a term that everybody used… and learned that it was in fact not. I feel seen.

So back to the original question: “Am I right that dink is another word for penis?” The answer is, “Well, technically, yes, but not so that anybody would really notice.” Fine by me. I have been educated, as now have all of you.

You’re welcome.
