Thread Name: I'nt Elizabeth Fry a minger
Subject: RE: I'nt Elizabeth Fry a minger
What interests me more is how the word "minging" came into the "English" language, I think it's even wormed its way into the OED.Does its origins lie in "Ming the Merciless" or from the word "minge" or "mingy"
Is this word known over the pond, are you responsible for it?
