Dunkings refer to the act of dipping food items such as biscuits into liquids like coffee, tea or milk. Some common synonyms for dunkings include dipping, submerging, immersing and soaking. The term 'dipping' is often used interchangeably with dunking, and refers to the act of partially immersing food items into a liquid. 'Submerging' describes the complete immersion of a food item into a liquid while 'immersing' is similar to submerging, but generally involves a longer period of time in the liquid. 'Soaking', on the other hand, refers to letting the food item sit in the liquid for an extended period of time to absorb the liquid.
