After all you did to me, I’m glad you got brutally rejected by that other girl. I never did believe in karma but as of now, it’s more clear. I hope you realize soon that you aren’t the best guy in the world. —YOU’RE A GINGER ANYWAYS

“YOU’RE A GINGER ANYWAYS”
Thats funny. But, there are some hot Gingers out there….take a look at Prince Harry. YUM!
Of course he is not the best guy in the world, I am.
I mostly just enjoyed this because of “YOU’RE A GINGER ANYWAYS”. I live with ginger twins and tease them all the time.
I don’t get this whole ginger thing. Gingers are hot.
Gingers…yuck. You can have ’em.
Ginger from Gilligan’s Island. Tell me that wasn’t one big orgy. Ginger and Mary-Ann. Now that’s hot. Just sayin.
i had a thing for the professor…and who could forget the classic when the harlem globetrotters visited the island
I don’t and never will understand this “Ginger kid” thing. What’s so bad about red heads????
They have no souls.
“I’m sorry Mama. I never meant to hurt yoo-ou; I never meant to make you cry!’
see o.p., this is what happens when you pick the wrong stud. q., or i, would have been better for you, just saying. but it isn’t too late yet, right q.
Fuck all of you who hate Gingers! Gingers are the coolest thing on the planet!
(can you tell I’m a ginger)
And I gotta say, this bitch (the bitchers name anyway) has some mild tones of prejudice to it. If someone were to use any other derogatory term in this way, it would never have been posted.
Way to be ambiguous towards prejudice and racism the Coast!!
Good fucking job. Assholes.
Yea Never Wrong, seems the whole world is on an anti-prejudice crusade.
Be extra nice to minorities, call them the special names they like, give them money, give them jobs, tie their shoes, etc. But with red heads the world is like fuck it, we still want to have a little bit of prejudice so pick on them.
GINGER Adjective:
*(used to describe hair) Of a reddish-brown colour.
*flavoured with ginger.
*(Cockney rhyming slang, derogatory) Queer (ie, homosexual) (short for ginger beer, rhyming with queer).
I’m guessing the OP is not actually describing the dude as a redhead, nor flavoured with ginger… but if he got his heart broken by a girl, the third option isn’t viable either, so maybe he is a redhead… and that’s HOT.
Personally I’ll take the ginger over any other. I think redhead men and women are the sexiest. Fuck it, I’d do both in a minute.
It’s the fiery passion, dude… also short people – same amount of passion packed into a smaller package, therefore more explosive. LOL
Isn’t this ginger label/hate thing verging on racism? Should the G word be banned at The Coast?
BTW: I’ve never seen red ginger. The ginger in my dried spice collection is more beige than red. Same with the fresh stuff. I really don’t get the connection to redheads.
18 comments in and someone calls racism. Hilarious.
Sometimes pickled ginger is pink…
BF: I’m not really serious about the prejudice/racism thing. I couldn’t give two thirds of a flying fuck less actually. I’m just pointing out the fact that the Coast seems to think it’s ok to discriminate against one group, but not another. Like I always say “the power lies in the offense”.
I’m with Gidget on this one. Redheaded men are fucking awesome in the sack! So much passion and fire in them. mmmmmm…..gotta find me a ginger soon!
NW: Sorry, my comment wasn’t really directed at you, just the people thinking we should start banning words.
BF: I totally get that. Your comments are usually pretty on point. I’m a ginger and don’t get all worked up when someone tries to use it as a derogatory term. Most of my friends don’t even call me by my name. It’s either Ginger, The Ginger, Ginger Balls, Ginger Beard, Gingy, etc. And I’m cool with that. What irks me is how the Coast sees fit to censor things like the “N word” and the “C word”, but apparently using the “G word” as a derogatory term is ok with them. Bunch of hypocrites if you ask me.
Never Wrong…I hadn’t read your comment when I posted mine. I usually try to keep redundancy out of my posts. I usually try to keep redundancy out of my posts.
Bastard Fish… I was being facetious. I don’t believe in banning words either with the exception of words like the N word and similarly offensive words. Derogatory omenclature according to hair colour is nothing new. Blonde jokes have been around for ages. They should be bad for being terrible joke not because they are about blondes but that is another story.
If an entire subculture, race, etc. decides a term is derogatory, then we as a society don’t use it. If nobody speaks out about it, it’s left alone, and people go ahead and use it as much as they want until people unite on that front.
So basically, until the “ginger-haired” folks unite and decide only ginger-haired people are allowed to use the term, “Ginger” then other people are going to use it. (If in fact the hair colour is what the term refers to in this context, which I am still not convinced of…)
Wasn’t there a troll on LTWWB named “Ginger” once? It was before my time, but I see references pop up occasionally…

Oh boy, I think I need a coffee or something. Sometimes things don’t register with me. /facepalm
NW – that is freaking FANTASTIC. I have a new musical crush. WHEW! 🙂
The ginger hating is just a joke, and a funny one at that. Get over it.
To me, ginger people: red hair, freckles, extremely pale skin, white eyelashes etc.
are fundamentally different from..
redheaded people: red hair, no freckles, not so pale skin, black eyelashes, etc.
Just having red hair isn’t enough to make someone “ginger” to me, even though that’s what the word technically means. Redheads are HOT, gingers are not.
fizz: So you admit that it’s ok to be prejudiced against a certain minority because you think it’s funny?
That’s like saying, “YOU’RE A BLACK ANYWAYS”.
Fucking bigot. Since you believe in karma, I hope it comes back to you and you get severely disfigured and then you can know what it’s like to be in the minority.
No wonder he rejected such a “prize” like you.
“Gingers” have that orange coloured hair, right? And are covered in freckles, right?
Just trying to get a visual here.
I’ve got nothing against those with a plethora of freckles — my mom has freckles all over her arms and I have the most adorable freckles all over my face (that make a special appearance in the summer)…but, orange coloured hair does nothing for me, unfortunately (you can call it “red” all you want — it’s fucking ORANGE).
whahhhhh
I just noticed some errors in my last post. Let’s try this again…
Derogatory nomenclature according to hair colour is nothing new. Blonde jokes have been around for ages. They should be banned for being terrible jokes not because they are about blondes, but that is another story.
Freckles are sexy.
I love it when a ginger haired girl’s curtains match the carpet ~;p
