1. A spice, the root of the plant Zingiber Officinale, grown in India, China, Nigeria, Jamaica, and recently in Australia, although its origins are in India or China. It figures prominently in the cuisine of both countries.

2. By extension and figuratively, spiciness, hot temper.

3. Red-headed, possibly because of the idea that redheads have fiery tempers.

4. In Cockney rhyming slang, homosexual. This is because ginger beer rhymes with queer.
