And in the UK back in the day, if you walk in a gay way it was also called "mincing"
In the US also.
Mince pies (the Christmas food) don’t contain meat though, just to make it more confusing.

I’ll explain it when I finish my barm cake. Which, when combined with a pie, becomes a Wigan kebab.
Is the a difference in the US and UK versions of mince meat and mince pie?
They do have suet in them, which is kind of meat.
