Many of the curious phrases that you come across may have more history than you know. For example, "horse of a different color" in OZ was a visual joke on an old saying. The actual horse changes color from scene to scene.
Origin
"My purpose is, indeed, a horse of that colour."
The more reasonable source is Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (1601) where the above line appears. In short, it means "Yes, that is my plan."
"Whether any of them may be induced to enter into the pay of King John I is 'a horse of another color.'"
Dingus is an actual word. Often used in a derogatry sense as in "you dingus!"
din·gus (dĭng'əs)
n. Slang
1. An article whose name is unknown or forgotten.
2. A person regarded as stupid.
[Dutch dinges, whatchamacallit, from German Dings, from Middle High German dinges, genitive of dinc, thing, from Old High German ding, thing, assembly, case, thing.]
