"Dog" has been used as an insult in English since at least the 16th century, drawing on negative traits associated with dogs—filth, aggression, or ugliness. By the 20th century, it was commonly applied to people, especially women, to label them as unattractive. The term appears in informal speech, insults, and pop culture. It is derogatory, offensive, and gendered when used in this way.

"Minger" is British slang that appeared in the late 20th century, likely in the 1980s, and is used to describe someone considered extremely ugly or unattractive. It comes from the word "minge," which originally refers to female genitalia, and was extended metaphorically into an insult about appearance. The term is common in casual, informal speech among friends or in tabloid-style commentary. It is clearly derogatory and offensive, aimed directly at a person's looks, and is rarely neutral or reclaimed.
