Agreed!  or you can use it as an adjective minging or even say "she's proper ming"

Minge is the same as clunge.........without any doubt!

That's what i was thinking too.

I think some people do say minge as an insult (but it is still referring to the female genitals) meaning they are so ugly, they look like a minge! not that minges are always ugly!

Ok i will stop talking now...

I find this term especially funny since 민지 and 민주 are two of the most common girls names.

Come on, we'd never say 'she's proper ming'. We'd say 'she's proper minging'.

In Scotland we shorten everything (so we say she/he is ming) or the food is ming!

I picked it up from Tim Minchin... never could quite figure it out, or how to spell it. Thanks Waygook crowd! I learn something new everyday! 8)
