Yes. I learned about it from reading the book, Summer Sisters by Judy Blume when I was like 17. I had no idea what it was before then!

Yes, I know what it really is and we also use it to call someone out when they are being stupid around here.

I too had a poodle growing up, so yes, I am familiar with the term "dingleberry" Here's another one for you - "grundle". I was only aware of it being used in one context before a friend gave me an alternate definition which can be found on Urban Dictionary. Now whenever I hear the word "grundle" used I only can think of that alternate definition!

I thought everyone knew but recently discovered that my own children did not know what a dingleberry is. They stared at me, mouths gaping, then burst out laughing.

..and in what context? I know, from having Poodles growing up. Unfortunately, yes. Our dog's name is Dingo, he does not have dingleberries, but sometimes we call him that.

Well, I thought I did, but it involved male humans, not animals. Soooo, maybe I did not know.

I know what it meant when I was in junior high - a piece of poop stuck to someone's butt hair.
Why there needed to be a word for that phenomenon, I have no idea. Also have no clue how the word was ever used.

Yuk. Shame really, as it is a pretty word and would make a great forum name.

I knew that it wasn't a compliment to be called a "dingleberry," but I didn't know exactly what it meant. Now I do and I can add another thing onto the lengthy list of things that I've learned on NSBR.

Yup, the little poop particles that are still hanging on by a hair on a dogs butt.

I know the dog related real meaning, but I am also used to hearing it used to mean a human acting silly or less than smart.

Our kitty has plushy thighs and has had them a time or two. That's it! I'm not fat - I have plushy thighs. Ha! But not dingleberries for the record.

Also have no clue how the word was ever used. Recent quote from my mother regarding Murphy, her Yorkie, who was acting oddly: "Poor little fellow had a dingleberry. He was slinking around, acting all embarrassed."

Without looking, yes.
Never heard of it until my husband used it early on in our marriage. I was part of a package that included my sweet fur girl. She was a long haired dog. So, she ended up with some dingleberries from time to time.
