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.

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.
