dink
Soft court touch
A dink is a soft, delicate shot in sports like tennis, pickleball, or volleyball—one that barely clears the net and drops quickly, making it hard to return: She dinked it just over the net.
In American slang, dink is a mildly derisive term for someone perceived as insignificant or foolish.
It can also mean to waste time or dawdle: quit dinking around.
As an acronym, DINK stands for "dual income, no kids," describing a household where both partners work and have no children.
