The "dingus" is allegedly a creature in Magic: the Gathering, although perhaps the flavor text makes the joke a little more obvious:

"Legend has it that the world was hatched from a dingus egg."

Future iterations on this theme approached single entendre status: https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=4432

"Dingus egg" came up in my searches, but I omitted it because I know nothing about this game and didn't feel like taking the time to learn. Sorry!

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit how much of my life I spent learning about Magic: the Gathering. I guess I had fun with it!

Re: “…and traveled some interesting byways in pursuit of the True Dingus”: I assume you traveled via Aer Dingus?

Plus, I’ve always heard another definition of “dingleberry,” but I saw that someone already brought that up in the comments — so I was relieved I didn’t have to describe that! 😂😂😂

"Dingleberry" to me has always meant little particles, or "berries," of poop that cling to the ass hairs (of other people.)

Sure. "Ding-this" and "ding-that," but what about "dong?" No respect.

Once again, the "dickhead" is disrespected.
