DinkDonk

DinkDonk Twitch / Discord emote

Meaning

DinkDonk is a popular Twitch emote that depicts a yellow Pepe the Frog character ringing a bell. The emote's name is onomatopoeic, representing the sound a bell makes when rung. It's primarily used to get a streamer's attention or to indicate that viewers are waiting for something to happen on stream.

Origin

DinkDonk was uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV) on October 16, 2020, by a user named FR5DDY. It's not one of Twitch's official global emotes but rather a community-created emote that gained popularity through the third-party extension BetterTTV, which many Twitch users install to access additional emotes beyond the platform's default offerings.

The emote features a variation of the popular Pepe the Frog character with a yellow triangular hat and green face, holding a small bell that it appears to be ringing.

When to use

DinkDonk is commonly used in the following contexts:

  • When viewers want to get the streamer's attention ("wake up strimmer DinkDonk")
  • When a streamer is distracted or not responding to chat
  • To indicate impatience when waiting for the streamer to continue with content
  • As a notification or alert that something is happening or about to happen
  • When reminding streamers about something they promised to do

The visual of a character ringing a bell perfectly complements its attention-grabbing function in busy Twitch chats.
