I got Campground Dink as well. Although I was reluctant to use Dink as I believe it to be an ethnic slur. Surely it has a more benign meaning.
Ditto
Dink means Double Income No Kids
where is bernie??? i am worried
Joan, you’re a darling to ask after me! I had a too-busy morning getting ready for a radiology appointment (minor issue, nothing to worry about), but now that I’m here, it’s all Hurry Up And Wait, so plenty of time to weigh in on the puzzle!
I got CRAMPON – NOGUDNIK. At 15/2, it’s not great from a score perspective, but I did get a chuckle when Nogudnik was accepted!
Trivia time: Natasha, of Rocky-and-Bullwinkle/Boris-and-Natasha fame, had two different last names over the course of the show. She was most often called Natasha Fatale, but at least once she was introduced as Natasha Nogudnik. Which makes a better pairing with Boris Badenov, amiright?
I did CAMPGROUND – DRINK, and it was my second ever two-word solution. It uses one extra letter (with still fewer duplicate letters than DIAKON, something I’ve yet to figure out if people even think that matters), but doesn’t have the possible issues associated with “dink.”
Having grown up helping out with the family business, DINK was an acronym we used to indicate that the potential customer had a Double Income and No Kids. But since it was an acronym, I didn’t actually try using it. 😅
Based on other people’s comments, I decided to look it up and according to Merriam Webster, there are 4 possible definitions for dink: two that are completely innocent and happen to have the oldest know usage(s), the acronym one I already explained above, and lastly a slur referring to a Vietnamese person.

Me too! 😜
Can you please tell me what I have to do to be able to join this group?
Thank you

But you just did, Deah!
I too found campground and dink. I have only used dink as a noun as in, “my fender has a little dink” or as an adj. as in ” the portions sure are dinky” at that restaurant. I had no idea it was a racial slur.
Well! I just learned I have been misusing “dink” for “ding”. And the origin of using “dinky” to describe something small is, well… enlightening! 😏
