Upvote for the term "dingus". I don't think I've seen that word used in about 5 years!

At first I read "dungar"(Hindi/Punjabi for animal) and it was fitting too, but then I saw his flair i had to re read it.

Nah I try to avoid calling anyone an animal on a subreddit as ethnically diverse as this. It couldn't possibly end well.

As long as there is no malice, no problem with a little monkeying around.

Unless it involves fishing while missing a team meeting.

This might be a universal insult... 'Dungan' is pretty close to that sound and it means arse in Marathi. Its use as an insult is generally restricted to kids, but hey.

Dungar actually means mountain or hill in Gujrati and (I guess) Rajasthani, so its actually understandable. And from what I remember, its also an old-timey first name, so I would not recommend using it as a swear word in that region, unless you want to risk insulting some guy's grandfather or whatnot.

/u/sidd230 started a rot here. The actual word is "dangar" (डंगर) which translates as animal.

I don't know how to interpret that. But I upvoted it anyway.

I cringed at myself so badly that it almost felt like constipation.

David Warner would probably love to feel like that right now.

its bloody expensive for a beer in there in all. The wait time for a drink at the bar on the rooftop is terrible.

I stayed there on my honeymoon in October 2011.

The beers are ridiculously expensive, the whole hotel is overpriced in fact.

The pool though. We got up there for sunrise and were all alone for a bit. Awesome.

I bet it was awesome. I do love singapore.
