Minky

[pozorvlak]

In Clackmannanshire, where wormwood_pearl grew up, the word "minky" means filthy, messy, disgusting; there's a heavy connotation of shame. "Ugh, this kitchen's minky!" An approximate synonym is "clatty".

My friend buffalo_gill, who is from... somewhere in England, uses "minky" to mean great, excellent, cool: "that party was minky".

I have a Minky retractable indoor clothes-drying line on the boat.

The company's based in Rochdale, so clearly it doesn't mean anything perjorative or rude in Lancashire!
