Odd people: Slang

Usage examples of ginks.

The Filipinos were on their way to Balanga like the rest of us when they were stopped by some ginks who were part of an aftermath reaction force.

The ginks presented us with copies of the humane atrocity clause of the Cape Town Accords.

Then two other ginks came trotting up the line and shot Ritchie in the back.

In the situation we were in, which was one of total, complete and utter heat and boredom and wondering what manner of crawling scabby insect you were going to dine on next, the fact of four hundred headless Filipinos was a topic for pleasant clubhouse gossip, something to discuss briefly in mild awe and almost admiration for the ginks for at least having a sense of spectacle and to be grateful for in a way because it took our minds off our own problems.
