I always thought of it more like a Scottishism... I could be wrong.

North of the border it is pronounced with no second 'g'. A simple glottal stop is whats called for. 'Ming-in'. Something that is mingin is very unsavoury, disgusting repulsive.... you get the idea. Similar to scottish words such as boufin (bow-fin) and the phrase 'gie's me the boak' (geez me the boke). This phrase means 'it makes my stomache churn'.

An ugly girl can be called a 'minger', particularly in central scotland. This gives rise to an army of young teenage minger neds all sprogged up underage (see Glasgow)

Sandy
Good definition of minger Sandy, as only a Scot could relate. I felt I had to add that my wife is not in fact a minger, as previously alluded to. She is a good looking woman by Scottish standards (hmm, must go to Amsterdam again sometime). I should also add that when she was pregnant the third nipple lactated! Now she really would kill me!!!
