"Fair dinkum" is the only association I have with it. Google provides a lot
of interesting links, but they seem to be universally derived from that same
usage. Are you sure you're not thinking of "lorem ipsum"? See

Suzanne (or anyone else): Have you ever come across the word 'dinkum' in
the
context of Word/editing/book production? (Not the Australian term 'fair
dinkum')
