dinkDonk

dinkDonk Twitch / Discord emote

Meaning

The dinkDonk emote depicts a green Pepe-like character holding a golden bell. It's commonly used in Twitch chat to get attention or to signal that something important is happening. The name itself is onomatopoeic, representing the sound of a bell ringing ("dink donk").

Origin

The dinkDonk emote was created and uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV) by a user named FR5DDY on October 16, 2020. The emote features a green frog-like character (resembling Pepe the Frog) holding a bell, rendered in a pixelated style with bright yellow-green coloring. It quickly gained popularity as a third-party emote through the BetterTTV extension, which allows Twitch users to access additional custom emotes beyond Twitch's official offerings.

When to use

dinkDonk is typically used in the following contexts:

  • To "wake up" a streamer when they're being quiet or not paying attention to chat
  • To alert chat or the streamer about something important happening
  • When someone is being reminded of something they forgot
  • To create a sense of urgency or to highlight an announcement
  • Sometimes spammed rhythmically to create a "bell ringing" effect in chat during moments that require attention
