MINXES

Minx (mingks) n.: A girl or young woman who is considered pert, flirtatious, or impudent.

I love that word. I love it. It's like onomatopoeia. It almost sounds like a brassy young thing.

Furthermore: [Probably from obsolete mynx, playful little dog, perhaps from alteration of obsolete Dutch minneken, darling. See minikin.]

I always thought it had something to do with sleek, furry things. You know, minks. Shows what I know. Even I can be taken to school on occasion... especially by a minx.

A merkin is also a sleek, furry thing. Heh.

Would that not be the BEST pet name for a gay luvah? (I'm thinking Jack on Will and Grace.)
