DING-A-LING LORE<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Chuck sang of his ding-a-ling,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

did he mean some non-ringing thing?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

When Anita Wood urged “ring my bell”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

was there meaning she could not tell?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The question, I am assuming,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

is: is it just a ding-a-ling<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

who thinks “ding-a-ling” has meaning<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

solely confined to bells’ pealing?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The answer would seem positive,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and far more broadly assertive<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

as euphemisms for some things<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

more personal than mere bell rings.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
