The Dictionary episodes
- #D156 (dine out to dinitrobenzene)
I read from dine out to dinitrobenzene.
The movie with the famous "A dingo ate my baby" is from "A Cry in the Dark" which isn't nearly as well-known as the quote.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094924/
But there is also a movie just called "Dingo"
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104109/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3
The word of the episode is "ding-a-ling".
The song "My Ding-a-Ling" was originally written by Dave Bartholomew in 1952 and then covered by Mr. Berry in 1972 which made it very popular. I played clips from both in the episode.

About The Dictionary
From the publisher's feed
I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving…
project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.
