A dongle is a slang word for both a USB thumb drive and a man's private parts. Orange was a mobile phone provider that was notorious for the gaps in its coverage - these gaps were called "Black spots".
I think the original meaning was a part of a machine that could be removed by releasing a catch, causing the machine to stop working until the dongle was snapped back into place. This was meant as a security measure -- you'd take the dongle with you when you had to leave the machine unattended, so that the machine would be useless to would-be thieves. I've actually seen one in the radio of a car my parents rented -- there was a row of six buttons, the middle four of which were on the dongle. I've also seen a game called Oxyd that was described as "dongleware" -- you could download the full game for free, but a certain level would contain a code, and you wouldn't be able to continue without buying a book that explained what the code meant (so the levels before that were effectively the demo).
That's an eggcorn. _Dong_ is slang for penis, not dongle! As in _King_ Dong! Here, it's performing the offices of a _double entendre_ as dongle sounds a little like dong.
@@221b-Maker-Street The Definition of a "dongle" is any small device that plugs into a socket, especially, but not limited to, a computer. The Urban Dictionary also gives the alternative definition of "dick" i.e. a small device (penis) that plugs into a socket (vagina). This usage dates from the 1980s. The use of the word "dong" for a penis derives from a different etymology and is first recorded in the 1890s. It appears to derive from an association with a clapper - the penis-shaped part of a bell that strikes the surround and produces the distinctive "dong" sound. Apart from its obvious Association with male and female sockets, the similarity of the word "dongle" to the already popular "dong" has hastened its usage in this regard. I think it is much more deliberate than an eggcorn.
Just remember even bad joke can be made hilarious when told with the perfect timing and delivery. As so many comments have said - this is a modern version of the famous "four candles" sketch. Tey looking up Tim Vine telling jokes - you'll find yourself laughing at terrible jokes thanks to his perfect delivery
I always described the modern dongle as an antenna from a cell phone, with a sim card, and thats it, all packaged in a memory stick sized thing that you plug in via USB. it was for wireless internet, but you probably already figured it out by now.
A Dongle is the generic name given to a device that plugs into a socket on a computer. I had a Dongle for my Commodore Amiga for the Xcopy programme that was able to create exact replicas of diskettes. That dongle plugged into a Parallel port
That’s Ronnie Corbett from the Two Ronnies. Duo made up of Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker. Amazing, absolutely amazing. 🤣😂🤣😂 Here in the UK we used have Mobile networks Orange, One2One, Vodaphone, 3, O2. This is so funny. That’s Harry Enfield, he is brilliant. The phrase do you mean smut. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Great reaction Connor, have a fab week and you take care too. 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
I once had a dongle on Orange lol A Dongle was a USB device that allowed u to have Internet (so u didn't need a phone line) Orange was a service provider 👍
If you are about to do the Rainbow one that is a cracker. Rainbow was a popular kids programme. The cast decided to do a special one for their Christmas party not intended for public viewing. It got out.
Heheeee….so clever🤗 and you “got it” 👍 Yes thanks, I enjoyed watching you discover this one ✨ Your reaction style is so relaxed, most refreshing and enjoyable to watch, Thanks 🥰
Ronnie Corbett was one of our national treasures. Half of The Two Ronnies. The greatest double act in British comedy. Ronnie was in Extras with Ricky Gervais. But Ronnie was involved in that nugget of Comedy Gold called Four Candles (Fork Handles) he was the Hardware Store Manager who got exasperated after each item on the list. I'm sure that fellow Britons will agree. Orange was a Telecommunications company in the UK and throughout Europe. A little nugget of truth, Connor; Ronnie Corbett was the shortest RAF Commissioned Officer in British Aviation History. He was 5'2"
Blackberry aka Crackberry (because of people's addiction) was a pre-smartphone ... very popular with the US government, that peaked in 2012. When the iPhone came out in 2007 Blackberry started to have serious competition. Then in 2011 the Indian government insisted on having full access to its internal information. This facilitated a wholesale move of the US government to the iPhone in 2012. And the Blackberry was also getting competition from Android smartphones. The US government claimed as late as 2016 they had the ability to hack any iPhone (basically what India demanded of Blackberry).
I remember some years ago when my son asked me to get a 'dongle' for him on ebay. I said 'I beg your pardon....! Now of course I am in the know. I, too, have a dongle! Double e'ntendre is the phrase you are looking for. Which of course is your 'original French' (as would have been said by Delboy in 'Fools and Horses'), and in UK means something with two meanings, one innocent, and, one saucy.
Try it in Orange. Blackberry is a phone (as you know) Orange was a phone network (Now EE) like you would have Verizon or T Mobile. A dongle is a very old name for a USB flash drive or stick. It is rarely called that these days and tbh I never ever called it a dongle always called USB Stick.
In addition to being a device which plugs directly into a USB port (like the receiver for a wireless mouse, or for bluetooth), a dongle also a slang term for a man's reproductive appendage. Dongles of the electronic variety are still very much in use. I use a Bluetooth dongle on one of my older laptops that has a BT driver but no actual BT. And yes, "double entendre" is the term you're looking for.
A Dongle is what you Americans would call a USB. I haven’t heard the word Dongle used in England (I can’t vouch for Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland) for some years. We seem to say USB now.
Orange is now EE.you said he looked familiar.at the end of the sketch the whole time you were giving your review on the screen it said the one ronnie.if you had just looked at what was stareing you in the face you prob would have worked out it was Ronnie Corbett.
orange was a mobile provider. nice reaction!!

Ah, Ronnie Corbett. Hard to believe he's been gone 6 years already. We lost so many notable names in 2016.
Oh yeah, I remember now everyone was dropping like flies! If you were a celebrity that must have been a nerve wracking 12 months lol
And Mrs. Corbett has a lot of experience with dongels apparently.

dongles are external accessories that you connect to the computer, eg. usb sticks
And Apple is pretty famous for having tons of dongles (essentially connector adapters) on their laptops.

Orange is (or was) a network provider in the UK
Which, I assume, had dodgy network coverage, hence the stab at its "black spots". :D
I think you'd like Harry Enfield (the younger one) if you like little Britain.

A dongle was not a storage device, ie a usb stick, but was a wifi adapter, ie it was a usb plug in wifi for devices that didn't have it
@@williewagtail405 A USB isn't a storage device, that's a memory stick. A USB is a 'universal' connection cable.
