Talk:Gingering

gin up
Why does "gin up" redirect here? The article doesn't mention this practice as the etymology of the word. Wiktionary has an unsourced etymology coming from the drink gin. Nearwater (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:59, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Trying to find info, but I'm guessing that we don't need to worry about copyright issues on a book from 1811. --Onorem♠Dil 13:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

This would seem to indicate that The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue is in the public domain. Also, a parent page of the link provided calls it a public domain encyclopaedia. Based on these 2 links, I'm going to remove the speedy tag. --Onorem♠Dil 14:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Just wish it didn't still happen in the modern world; though now they euphemistically call it "Gingering the tail." :-P   Montanabw (talk) 00:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
