Dink

1. What does DINK stand for?

Double income no kids

DINK stands for "double income no kids." You're most likely to encounter this acronym on social media, in forums, and in news articles, describing couples who do not have kids and have kept both members working.

A variety of societal shifts and economic pressures have caused many couples to embrace the DINK lifestyle. (Additionally, some couples just enjoy being DINKs.) Millennial and zoomer couples, especially, are more likely to be DINKs, as affording a new mortgage with even a dual income can be a stretch these days.

Small dent

A dink is an informal term that describes a small dent in a piece of metal. For example, an engineer may notice a dink when constructing a new type of vehicle prototype.

Dinks are typically the result of an accident but may be done on purpose to make someone mad or out of frustration. Both professionals and amateurs may use dink, or "ding," to point out small imperfections in a material.

Typically, people who build things out of metal most often use dink. Some occupations include engineers, mechanics, welders, and contractors.
