My mom, my sister and I are in the kitchen, and my sister is making cookies. She was distracted by something, and then saw that the oven had preheated and said to my mom: "You didn't tell me it dung!" and my mom and I started laughing. So what is the past tense of ding? Is it dung? Dinged? lol

I would stick with "beeped" and give up on the dung altogether.

lol... if you really like the word... I would guess dinged too.

haha... good laugh.

Dinged or dung. Unless we were talking about **** at that particular moment in time I would understand the person either way.

" You didn't let it ding " ... " You didn't let it ring " ..... " It didn't ding " " It didn't ring " Therefore ...." the timer dang " .... " the timer rang " When over --- " the timer was dung " and " the bell was rung " ....Now while all this was going on ...the cookies burned .

I think it's one of those words that no matter what you say, it just doesn't sound right. Could you say "It rang?" My oldest son used to have friend whose last name was Foote and I always wondered if that was your name, would you say "We're the Footes" or "We're the Feet?" They both just sound so wrong.

You dirty minded person you. I swear I used to hear that phrase out of a children's book when I was younger.
