singin' ginger

a west of Scotland colloquialism for a cheap, fortified wine, usually Buckfast Tonic Wine. For some unknown reason, drinkers of "singin' ginger" want to befriend total strangers, not by attempting to have a conversation with them, but by singing incoherently. "Ginger" is another colloquialism used by the indigenous peoples of Glasgow. This refers to soft (carbonated) drinks, such as Barr's Irn Bru, and fortified wines are perceived as "grown-up's ginger". Hence, over-enthusiastic indulgence of alcohol causes the GINGER to make one want to sing.

gingersnap 

A particularly dangerous type of tantrum performed by a ginger or a daywalker. Gingersnaps occur when a non-ginger ask a question about the satanic powers that all gingers possess. These questions would seem innocent to a normal person, but are like kryptonite to the soulless gingers. A single question will not always provoke a gingersnap. Sometimes a gingersnap will occur only after a dozen or so question over seven to ten days. The longer it takes for the gingersnap to occur, the more violent the gingersnap. Alcohol will increase the chances of a gingersnap. It’s best not to let a ginger drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day, preferably a cranberry juice and vodka or a Miller Lite in a vortex bottle. If you find yourself in a situation where a gingersnap is imminent there are only two things that can save you, prayer and direct sunlight. It is a fact that all gingers are governed by the same rules that control the zombies in “I Am Legend.” The threat of skin cancer and the creation of additional freckles is so great, that no ginger will intentionally enter direct sunlight. This is why so many gingers work 3rd shift. If direct sunlight is not available then you are most likely be murdered. Most gingersnaps end with 3-10 innocent people stabbed to death.
