British slang for a person with red or ginger hair. It's a shortened, casual form of 'ginger' and is used widely across the UK — sometimes affectionately between friends, but often with a teasing or mocking edge depending on tone and context. Thanks to British pop culture, famous ginges, and the ongoing cultural conversation around redhead identity, the word has become embedded in everyday British banter. Whether it's a term of endearment or a dig depends entirely on who's saying it and to whom.
Everyone on the team calls him the ginge because he's the only redhead in the office.
