Dingies

/ˈdɪndʒiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of dingy; multiple small boats, or alternative plural spelling of dinghy.

Etymology

Plural of dingy (alternate spelling of dinghy), from Hindi roots borrowed into English.

Kelly Says

Dingies is yet another plural form competing with dinghies—showing that even in modern English, this colonial-era borrowing never settled into a single standard spelling or pluralization.
