# Minnie the minge

# Sounds a lot like whinge, as if it's about to have a good moan at you.

# I have synaesthesia, and certain words conjure up involuntary and (mostly) unrelated sense impressions for me
and "minge" feels like pubic hair brushing against my mouth. Make of that what you will.

# Synaesthesia always seemed like one of the more interesting disorders.
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 22 Apr 2012, 21:40, archived)
# It's not really a disorder, since it's generally benevolent or at least relatively harmless
The only exception for me is certain words that make me feel a bit nauseous because of the sense impressions they conjure up, but that's not very serious. Most of my synaesthia is temporal-spatial, for example every decade of the twentieth century has a specific colour.

# I couldn't think of a better word for it.
But I've always liked the idea of composers who could see music in colour, and the maths wizards who see numbers as shapes and do terribly complicated maths in their heads just by fitting "shapes" together.

# I've always found it very easy to remember dates of historical events
because I can see where they happened in time

# What colour was the 80's, beige?
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 22 Apr 2012, 21:47, archived)
# Silver

# Is it specifically the colour of silver spandex in "futuristic" music videos, because if so I can see a link there.
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 22 Apr 2012, 21:55, archived)
# Haha, yes I guess it is sort of
and yes there is often a very loose logic to the synaesthetic links. For example when I was learning the piano as a child I had coloured stickers on the keys, and these colours have stuck with me as the colours of the musical keys.

# Is it just the 20th Century?
What colour was the 1760's? Or 2030?

# Yes - I guess it's the decades that we think of as having a particular cultural character
The 90s are gold, the 80s silver, the 70s chocolate brown, the 60s magenta, the 50s dark green, the 40s a shiney dark grey, like graphite, the 30s are dark blue, the 20s light grey, the 1910s dark brown and the 1900s a nice creamy yellow.

# Hmmm, I can see why the 40's might be a gun metal colour.

but not the baked bean type, the nasty green harricot type.
