dy-no-mite
Enthusiastic approval cry
Dy-no-mite is an emphatic pronunciation spelling of dynamite, used as an exclamation of enthusiastic approval.
The spelling captures the drawn-out, three-syllable delivery popularized by the character J.J.
Evans on the 1970s sitcom *Good Times*: Dy-no-mite! That's what I'm talking about!
The expression sounds dated but remains recognizable as retro slang for something exciting or excellent.
