Ginny Galln.

Brit.

/ˌɡɪnɪ ˈɡɔːl/, U.S.

/ˌɡɪni ˈɡɔl/

Forms: 1900s– Ginny Gall, 1900s– Guinea Gall.

Origin: Apparently from a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Guinea, an element of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Apparently < Guinea, the name of a region in West Africa (see Guinea n.) + a second element of uncertain meaning and identity.Compare earlier use of Guinea in U.S. regional English as the name of a remote or unpleasant place to which an annoying person or thing may be wished or sent:1834 S. Smith Sel. Lett. Major Jack Downing lix. 151 I've wished the Bank to Guinea more than fifty times.1900 G. Ade Fables in Slang 78 Well, I'll jest swan to Guinney!It has been suggested that such use of Guinea as a possible euphemism for hell may have arisen by confusion with (or as an alteration of) gehenna n., although evidence to confirm this is lacking. It is perhaps also relevant that the region of Guinea had a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade. With the ending, perhaps compare gall n.², although it may simply represent a fanciful alliterating extension of the first element.

U.S.

In African-American usage: (the name of) an imaginary place characterized as remote, unpleasant, or harsh; spec. an outer region of hell. Now rare and historical.
