there is a Dingus among us....

I've lived in chicago all my life , know many of polish heritage and have never heard of the dingus. Sounds kinky but I will Google the Ding us.

Nice piece of history, growing up in NYC in a semi Polish household....I never heard of it....Moved to Buffalo, and after the first Easter , the following day.... I felt like Gregg Allman....tied to the Whipping Post....chained and bound....cute if not bizarre tradition.... Thanks for your Polish history insight.... maybe if I close my eyes and click my heels 3 times...I won't be Mt T anymore.... ....didn't work....

Just announced the 400 theatres participating in this annual event. Check out fathom events.com to see if it's playing near you!

isn't the only place in the USofA to celebrate Dingus, Chi town has a huge Polish population... Dyngus (or Dingus) Day falls on the Monday after Easter. Started in Poland as a way to provide merriment after the seriousness of Lent comes to an end. The tradition began when farm boys in Poland wanted to attract notice from the girls of their choice. It was custom to throw water and hit the girls on their legs with twigs or pussywillows. Cologne was used instead of water by the more gallant lads. The ladies would reciprocate by throwing dishes & crockery and Tuesday was their day of revenge, imitating the same tactics.
