dingdong
Sound announcing visitors
Dingdong imitates the sound of a bell, especially a doorbell: Dingdong! Trick or treat!
As a noun, it's a ringing sound or, informally, a foolish person: Don't be such a dingdong.
A dingdong battle or argument is one where advantage shifts back and forth, like a bell swinging between strikes.
