Dingy is a word that can be used as an adgective to describe someone who is forgetful and makes silly choices at times. It's similar to ditzy, only usually implies it as a less [intensified]. Often times it refers to someone who has less than average [common sense] and/or simply doesn't think about what they are doing, as well as frequently forgetting about what they are doing or what they have planned.
It is used both to refer to someone who IS dingy and to someone who is BEING dingy. This means that it can mean that a person is always dingy or often is, however can also be used to refer to when someone makes a dumb choice or forgets something obvious. Everyone does something dingy at some point or another. That doesn't make them dingy, but their silly choice or forgetting [something big] is.

In the examples below, Susan is dingy because she makes a habit out of forgetting to turn the oven off, and probably forgets similar things. Jon and Kristen both acted dingy, but are not necesarily dingy themselves.

Many slang terms mean different things in different regions. In fact, they often mean very different things, hardly resembling each others' [definition] despite being the same word. This is [the definition] most commonly found in California.
This term is interchangeable with the slang usage for "ding-dong" when referring to someone who IS dingy. Someone who is dingy is also a ding-dong.
