(informal, colloquial, chiefly, United States) Nothing.
A flexible, catch-all word that shifts meaning depending on context. In its cleanest form, doings are activities, achievements, or social events — 'the doings at the community hall' or 'his recent doings at work.' Colloquially it also serves as a placeholder for anything the speaker doesn't want to name directly, making it a useful tool for polite vagueness. In dated Australian slang it carried a vulgar sense referring to sewage. In modern everyday speech, doings most often just means goings-on.
(Internet slang) Something that is popular, trendy or newsworthy at the moment but is unlikely to remain so long-term.
(slang) To mistakenly believe one has reached an important insight, despite not having done so.
