(PSN)Fen_Integrum Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 can call another ginger, ginger It's our word. It even contains all the same letters as the N-word, so you can tell that it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nira Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Seeing as the term can also be construed as derogatory towards someone with red hair, I would tread carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestral9999 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) It's our word. It even contains all the same letters as the N-word, so you can tell that it's true. How did I never notice that? I've also never understood why gingers are called gingers. (Yeah, I said it. Twice, even. You wanna fight about it?) As Llyssa pointed out, ginger is brownish yellow. Sometimes pink if it's served with sushi. But I've never seen red or freckled ginger. Edited March 18, 2015 by Kestral9999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)GreenSoup2HoT Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Calling someone with Red/Orange hair a "Ginger" is very Offensive unless you know them personally. It's like calling a Blonde "a dumb blonde" or a brunette "a sh*t head".You don't just walk up to blonde's and brunette's and call them that, which is why "ginger" is no better being said to a Red/Orange Haired person. I've grown up having unreal Red/Orange/Strawberry Blonde hair/whatever you wanna call it. My whole life i was called a "ginger". It's not fun when people know you as "the ginger kid" rather then your own name. Children are always harsh like that, picking on people's appearance's. I was just starting high-school when the kick a ginger day south park fad started. I probably punched out more kid's that day then the kid's who were kicked. Didn't even get in sh*t since it became so new's worthy, starting assemble's etc. Now that i am a lot older now, i appreciate my hair a lot more. It's nice to get compliment's on my hair color from random people i meet. Just a little input from a fellow ginger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just learned to deal with it, and accept it, then again, people call me a lot worse names more often xD Somebody tried to kick me in high school once... They received a roundhouse to the chest via steel toe boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyssa Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You are only looking at the roots from the market. The actual flower that buds from it is very red. Sometimes. Sometimes not. Typically, the flower is yellow, not red. That is a good theory, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etymological things are theory unless they have actual proof backing it. If you looked it up somewhere, it makes it that person's theory. It seems unlikely, at best. Where did you find it?

MagPrime Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If you leave me out in the sun, my hair turns auburn and I freckle like crazy. Does that make me a ginger ninja, because I have such l33t hiding skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there are a lot of reliable ways to trace Etymology, following word roots, languages, cultures, etc. This one is a bit more difficult because it's slang. I'll try to find the book, but it's fairly well agreed that it is a British pejorative term that developed during their occupying parts of Malaysia. Originally it was more referring to them as a flower, and girly. Originally it only had to do with red hair, and not with pale skin or freckles.
