Down here in London minger rhymes with singer but not finger.

In my American dialect "singer" rhymes with "finger"!

Always interesting. Stinky cheese from Scotland with a funny name. And cultures that have words meaning “women” that are also one of their body parts. (I suppose we’ve gone down that road with men in calling out pricks. But imagine if “penis”was just a casual way of referring to men generally...)

I couldn’t help but notice a typo The Telegraph would find funny: Telegrap!

Even as I am only one generation away from Scotland, I doubt I will be trying Minger anytime soon. 😜

Darn it, I missed those WotYs in my newsletter! Luckily I have you to set me straight, they'll be in the next edition!
