ding dongs

Cream-filled chocolate cakes

Ding dongs are stupid people, used as a mild, slightly playful insult: Those ding dongs forgot to lock the door again.

The term suggests foolishness rather than malice.

Separately, a ding dong is a ringing sound like a doorbell, and Ding Dongs are a brand of chocolate-covered snack cakes.
