The word “ding” can have many meanings, but in terms of yoyos a ding is basically a small dent, surface damage. “Dings” would be plural, meaning more than one dent.

Actually, in yoyoing, the word ding originated from the sound you get whenever you hit a yoyo (especially a metal) against a hard surface. Try it! 😛
