Right? It threw me for a loop for a moment, as well.

I'm not sure exactly what "dink" and "rebo" mean, but I'm curious!



Yep, an old and possibly embarrassing memory.

"Dink" was a popular minor term of derision in my Utah childhood. "Rebo" is a later addition to my vocabulary acquired over more than two decades spent in New York State. It's probably confined to upstate argot; I've never heard it in Brooklyn: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rebo

Dang it all - I got really excited there when I thought that I might be in UT at the same time as Blixa later this year! :sad: :sad: :sad:

I thought Elder Holland stated that Mormon's don't Shunn......

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

I wish all Shunns didn't Mormon, but sadly some still do.

Heh, yeah, now I remember calling kids dinks when I was young. I wasn't sure if this was the same thing. "Rebo," though, I had never ever heard before, and it definitely hasn't made it to Queens, either, which is where I live.

We used to use the term "renob" too when I was a kid. It's basically a different insult spelled backwards.

This may be a little late since this is an old thread but I read The Accidental Terrorist online years ago and loved it.

Facebook keeps me updated with news of the book coming out in November. I'm excited.
