<![CDATA[Dingbat]]>A ridiculous, silly or stupid person.
The word dingbat originally refers to to a character or symbol used in [typesetting] which gives an instruction to the printer. These should be removed before the text is published, but were occasionally left in by mistake. The character made no sense to non-typesetters and the association of [dingbat] with nonsense and [forgetfulness] carried over to describe people.
