Minger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- UK (slang) uncomplementary description of an unattractive person, usually female, probably derived from minge.
It came to mean to produce or make by mixing, and there is an early reference to it in the context of making a poison. A third use for it in Scots dialect is to stir, trouble or upset. It first became known in English slang as a result of the television prgram "Rab C Nesbitt" (played by Gregor Fisher) who played a hopeless but endearing Glasgow drunk. There is no apparent derivation from the word "minge." People commonly known by the family name Minger include:
- Rudolf Minger — Swiss politician
- Pete Minger — United States jazz musician
