: Rinky dink....a lot of our clients talk about more rinky dink transactions..presumably they mean ..sexier ones, am I right?

"Rinky dink" is like "Mickey Mouse." Small-scale. Bargain basement. A dog & pony show is a rinky dink operation when compared to a big three-ring circus. Maybe the meaning of rinky dink has changed. But that's the way I've always heard the term used.
