A derogatory term specifically for an English person. Comes from the Glasgow rhyming slang. The word England is often pronounced as "Inger-land" by English football fans, thus inger minger.
It comes from the Scots word "ming", which refers to several things, such as something smelly, poor quality, unattractive, and also to human excrement, the latter definition documented by Watson in the early 1900s around Roxburgh.
The word minger was picked up by Big Brother's Jade Goody to describe herself on national TV in 2002 and quickly spread around English youth culture, all blissfully unaware of it's correct meaning and true origin - as shown by the wrong entries in this section.

Not simply someone who is just coyote ugly, the phrase usually implies she is ugly, unkempt, over-weight and has hygiene problems such as a fishy cunt or skid marks on her underwear and her arse really stinks if you go to mount her doggy-style. She is also sexually promiscuous - a person who spreads sexually transmitted diseases. Her victims are always extremely horrified when they wake up the next morning. A somewhat crude term, the phrase is only usually used by people who are common, of low intellect or mingers themselves.Word comes from northern England and from Scotland.
Dave woke up hungover.Two-thirds of the bed contained a sweaty mound of stinky minger with unshaven armpits and huge bush. His genitals itched terribly.
