If I was to start "gingering up" everything on the menu, I'd get carried away with it.

The most vigorous presence is that of Oscar Isaac, who sidles in as an insurance-claims investigator, wrinkling his nose at the goings on in the Lodge residence, and gingering up the movie as it begins to sag.

A modern veterinary dictionary notes that vaginal placement is more effective than anal insertion, because the irritant is likely to remain in place longer, and concludes gingering "would be considered to be an act of cruelty in any civilized community".Gingering in the Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary, 2007 edition, by D.C. Blood, V.P. Studdert and C.C. Gay; published by Elsevier. Accessed online via Answers.Com.gingering - definition of gingering by Medical dictionary. Medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com.

The introduction of alcohol, spices or other irritants into the anus or vagina, called gingering, is used to force the horse to hold its tail higher and to give a more dashing impression.

Pared finger of ginger root Gingering, or gingering the tail is the practice of making a horse carry its tail high, and to a lesser extent to encourage it to move in a lively fashion, by applying an irritant, such as raw ginger, to its anus or vulva.Ogilvie, John. Imperial Dictionary of the English Language, 1883. p. 272 Historically the process, the purpose of which was often to make an older horse behave like one that was younger, or to temporarily liven up a sick or weakened animal, was known as feaguing (from which the modern term figging derives), and involved a piece of ginger, onion, pepper, tobacco, or a live eel.

Gingering is prohibited and not used. Outside of breed-specific shows, the Saddlebred is also promoted as suitable for competitive trail riding, endurance riding, dressage, combined driving, eventing, and show jumping. Because they are so closely affiliated with their traditional show ring competition, they are sometimes mistaken for warmbloods or Thoroughbred crosses when participating in other equine events. They are also suitable family horses used for trail and pleasure riding and ranch work.

Horse Secrets, 1911. p. 22 Gingering is a particular issue with halter horses in the Arabian and American Saddlebred breeds, where high tail carriage and animation are desired traits. However, nearly all horse show sanctioning organizations in the USA explicitly forbid it and have the authority to disqualify a horse treated in this way. While some areas may be less than rigorous about enforcing the rule, tests such as "ginger swabbing" may be done to detect the presence of ginger in the anus.

In his autobiography, DeMille wrote, "I am sometimes accused of gingering up the Bible with large and lavish infusions of sex and violence. I can only wonder if my accusers have ever read certain parts of the Bible.""Samson and Delilah: a good effort at biblical sex and violence", The Guardian, June 20, 2013 By the 1950s movies had to compete with television and became more colorful and bigger in story and scope. In 1953, CinemaScope was introduced in The Robe.

It was also Chabrol's first film co- written with his longtime collaborator Paul Gégauff, of whom Chabrol once said "when I want cruelty, I go off and look for Gégauff. Paul is very good at gingering things up...He can make a character look absolutely ridiculous and hateful in two seconds flat." Les Cousins was another box office success in France and won the Golden Bear at the 9th Berlin International Film Festival. Chabrol formed his own production company AJYM Productions (acronym based on the initials of his wife's and children's names) at the time of making Le Beau Serge.

For the halter horses in the Arabian and American Saddlebred breeds, high tail carriage and animation are desired traits. However, nearly all horse show sanctioning organizations in the U.S. explicitly forbid gingering and have the authority to disqualify a horse treated in this way. While some areas may be less than rigorous about enforcing the rule, tests such as "ginger swabbing" may be done to detect the presence of ginger in the anus. While it is not entirely reliable, concerns of being detected by anal tests has led to some horse handlers placing the irritant in the vagina if the horse is a mare.

It seems unlikely that many men would have spent their meagre pay on such a thing. Likewise, it had nothing to do with combating scurvy, which was a disease of long ocean voyages—not of squadrons operating among islands where there was an abundance of fruits and fresh foodstuffs—and was seen by the medical establishment (incorrectly) as the consequence of poor digestion and internal putrefaction.[4] Standard medical remedies focused on 'gingering up' the system by imbibing a variety of (ineffective) fizzy or fermenting drinks. Until an official daily issue of lemon juice was introduced into the Royal Navy in 1795, scurvy continued to be a debilitating disease which destroyed men and disabled ships and whole fleets.

In the United States, the Animal Humane Association was created in the 1940s to oppose the many horse deaths during filming of westerns. An opinion movement (mostly upheld by activists) denounced the cruelty of multiple practices on horses: use of severe bits, excessive use of the riding crop, training with electric shock, cuts of the tongue with reining, and more generally the macho attitude of much of the horse industry, wherein it was considered normal to hit horses to establish a dominance relationship and show them "who is the master". This movement led to the passing of the Horse Protection Act of 1970, which banned soring (compression of the hooves with wedges) and gingering (applying irritating substances to the anus or vagina to give the horse a more lively attitude). Between the 1950s and the 2010s, a dozen horse-protection societies were created in the US.
