A slang (sometimes offensive) term for people with red hair. It is taken from the word "Orangutan", an ape with red hair. This term is synonymous with "redhead" and "ginger". Legend tells that this term was created by students in schools that had banned the use of the term "ginger" as a response to incidents that occurred on Kick a Ginger Day.
