Talk:Gingering

gin up[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
