Questionable spelling of the English slang term: this would be "ginge" (to rhyme with "tinge"); spelling it "ging" makes it appear to rhyme with "sing". — Paul G 10:29, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- Can't say I've seen this in English, but it is a form of the German verb gehen. — Hippietrail 14:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

- Dunno about any slang terms, but found several cites of it being for the name ginger, but only one for ginger uncapitalized, and that in a hyphenated word so I'm not sure it counts. I just remembered this is a casing wiktionary so none of the Ging cites really belong on that page; I'll hafta fix that later. Bah. —Muke Tever 07:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
