Jinny Greenteeth in Lancs

[edit]

I think that "Jinny" is just a dialectal pronunciation of "Jenny" in Lancashire. See on this document from the Survey of English Dialect! It's written as "Jenny Greenteeth" at the sites where she was mentioned, but the phonetics given indicate a pronunciation that would sound like "Jinny" to most English-speakers today.

Scotland?

[edit]

There is a reference to Jenny Greenteeth in the 2006 short film Davy and Stu, which is based on a play by Anton Dudley and takes place at a Scottish peat bog. I have not added this to the popular-culture section, which is already quite full, but the reference makes me wonder whether the legend is also part of Scottish folklore.

"River Mumma" a racist stereotype?

[edit]

We used the Wikipedia definition in a Wiktionary entry and it has been changed by someone claiming it's racist: [1]. Can anyone clarify? 2A00:23C5:FE0C:2100:6466:6788:A50:71A7 (talk) 20:02, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
