A ginger (rhymes with 'singer') is slang for someone with red hair. Many have attempted to register people with red hair as being disabled as it is perceived that "gingers" are not as intelligent, athletic or indeed as good looking as ordinary human beings.

Notable gingers include Julia Roberts, but that is a bit of a stretch because she is kinda hot, a trait incompatable with the true definition of the word.

Scientists in 1998 identified three genes that may be involved with the formation of red hair in varients, HP502, LM294 and RT234. In 2002 shortly after the finalisation of the genetic code LM294 was identified as "the ginger gene" (AKA the ging thing).

Once the ginger gene was identified people speculated about a cure for "the ging." Unfortunately once one is afflicted with this evasive and reccesive genetic trait, there is no going back. However, the possibility of developing a test for couples planning on conceiving to determine if they are likely to produce a hideous progeny is likely in the near future. Fortunately this means that genetic counselling could effectively eliminate this vile trait within 2 generations.
