I'd like the next thing I write to have the word 'dint' in it. It's a word that isn't used often enough.

  1. It's how we say "didn't" in Doncaster.

    "No I dint!"
    "Yeah ya did!"
    "NO I DINT"

    etc.

  2. I dint realise that 'dint' has a couple of meanings, aside from the colloquial...

  3. I too like the word 'dint'.
    The tin cup was empty. They were miles from the oasis. It had a dint in it where she bashed it against a rock in an agony of frustrated thirst.

  4. Dint and dent are the same apparently...I just looked it up (on an internet dictionary so that must be right). I think we should have more stories that feature galoshes
