In the first office I ever worked in two teenage boy trainees had to go out to a property in Minge Lane in Upton, they were in stitches for days.  Of ccurse back in the 70's girls were far more decorious so non of the female staff understood any connotation and the boys wouldn't let on just sniggered which made all the female staff really cross


Found out many years later that it was named Minge Lane for a reason and it was all written up in a local history of the area  -   how times change!!!

I think it was the local place to "hook up" with the local "ladies of the night"  Surely I don't need to be more explicit than that do I  :o




But if it still means nothing then just check out the definition at the online Oxford English Dictionary

A part of a lady's anatomy, pretty similar to the one I quoted  :o :roflanim:  but a tiny bit nicer.
 
I have always lived in a houseful of males so I know these things  ;D :bow:

In Biggar we have John Street, which is rather delightfully where the public toilets are.
