A chuckle

My husband just asked me what I was doing.
I replied "Looking for dingbats"
He burst into laughter and then I realised what I had said.

(Now just to check that I haven't lost the chuckle in translation over here a dingbat is a fool, a joker, a bit of an idiot - that kind of thing!)

You never know if some words like that mean one thing in one country and something different in another.
