New to me:
1994 Cheryl terHorst_Daily Herald_ (Chicago) (Dec. 20) II 1
(NewspaperArchive): Everyone's a little ginchy about this one. See, it's
kind of complicated. There are lots of thigh and cellulite creams on the
market.
2000 Laura Bianchi in Ibid III 3 : If you're a bit ginchy about trying this
product, you've probably already had it.
2003 Lorilynn Rackl in Ibid.(Oct. 27) III 1: But some physicians are ginchy
about the potential long-term effects of using hormones.
