Default Din Din? (Slang)

What does it mean to call someone "Din Din?" It seems to be an informal or possibly derogatory way of addressing someone.

Thanks!

Default Re: Din Din? (Slang)

It would help to hear the exact context of the use of this phrase. I have never heard anybody called din din.

The only time I have ever heard the phrase has been in a silly or childish way of referring to having a meal as in "Let's have din din" (Let's eat dinner").

Have never heard anytining like that, at least in Spanish used in Spain. It might be an invented word - within a concrete family - for children. I don't know.
