Dink?

0 Hi all02br
02br
00I am reading today's Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's leading newspaper, and there is an article about the Liberty of the Seas, which is a luxurious cruise ship built in Turku, Finland. The owners of the ship say they try to attract all kinds of passengers, especially 01i00dinks.02i00 This English word is used - and its meaning is explained in the article.02br
02br
00I had never heard the word before and that's why I would like to know how old the word is and whether it is generally understood in the Anglo-Saxon world at large.02br
02br
00Cheers02br
