In practice, someone would approach you, greeting you with, "Boddobing."  Your "Boddobang" response is like saying back, "hello to you, too."  It means you accept the greetings and are willing to interact.  When the conversation is over, your initial goodbye is again, "Boddobang," to which the response is, "Boddobung."

Example:     Boy:    Boddobing.
                   Girl:    Boddobang.

                Then they do the usual conversing about what a drag school is, their favorite bands, and off-beat sexual positions involving egg-beaters.  And when it's time to say goodbye...

But...

DiLingo offers an opportunity to blow someone off in a most unmistakable way.

If the greeter offers, "Boddobing," but someone totally not interested says, "Boddobung," then that's that.  What is eliminated is the back and forth ...boddobang, blah, blah, blah, boddobang...to get right through to the boddobung.  The two middle boddobangs are eliminated to send a clear message most often used in singles' bars.

A corruption of this is the "Boddo, boddo, boddo, boddo..." you hear chanted at baseball games when the batter for the Sango Jingo Frac Sox gets ready to bat.  It means "C'mon," or "Let's go."

                Boddo (Pronouned "Bottuh"), boddo, boddo...        "C'mon, let's go!"
                Boddobl~sm~ng        Move your ass!   (bl~sm~ng is DiLingo for rear end--see NOUNS.)

Another greeting is:

               Hokie Pokie.  This means "How are you?" or "How are you doing?" or "Hey, what's happenin'?"
                                        Literally translated, it says,
                                                "What's it all about?"  (or, "That's what it's all about," when used as a declaration.)

                  This greeting is best stated while putting one foot out.  We don't know why--just some quaint DiLingo custom.

Yes     sp~nk
No      n~nct  (which contorts the mouth into a truly ugly posturing, making the uttered word redundant)

Notice the ~grunger. In this way, when answering a yes or no question, the tense can be established as well.

Q. Was Maddona the Affirmative Girl?
A. Spank. (Yes, she was.)  DiLingo--ya gotta just love it!

Q. Are you like the girl in "The Crying Game"?
A. Ninct! (I'm not!).
     Nanct! (I haven't been!).
     Nunct! (I have never been!)
     Zinct zinct ninct! (And I'll never be!)

O.K.
What language would be complete without the ol' O.K.
 

Zeetoo   O.K.

Peechee--     expletive, adjective, adverb of favorable quality (feel free to use an exclamation point)

Schleechee-  pejoritive expletive (can be likened to excrement--or a piece of it, cheap sexual penetration references, invoking the Supreme Being to damn someone, or any other demonstrable ugliness.

Just saying it kind of gives a vindicated feeling of giving someone the sentiment they deserve)

Articles are little fart words that don't matter anyway.  And speaking of farts, I must admit that the whole of DiLingo may in fact be onomotopaeic for sphincteric indiscretions.--sUmUs cAcOOnUs
