Clyde Mug

Subtle derogatory term for people with red, orange or ginger hair with reference to Clint Eastwood's pet Orangutan in the 1978 film 'Every Which Way But Loose'. Known for their misinformed sense of self importance, in spite of their hair colour, a Clyde may believe that they are attractive. They should only be insulted when they are heavily out numbered and the exits are clearly marked and within easy reach. If an approach cannot be avoided it should be done with caution and direct eye contact should be avoided. It is rumored that procreation with gingers was put forward for inclusion in the Geneva Convention as a 'crime against humanity' in 1949 but despite a majority vote in favor of this progressive law people felt it was ahead of it's time.
