Denotes a lad or set of lads that basically "sucked up", "arse licked" etc any or all of the most good looking girls in the school. The contributor says it was used because they said they used to serenade the girls with their lutes like Minstrels used to do in Tudor society. They used to say f-ing minstrels or lute players (often spelled as loot). Really they were just jealous of one set of popular lads, but it was funny. He also said his best mate was one of those lads and he still sometimes call him it today if he is chatting up a bird.
This was a fairly innocuous much loved childrens toy for most of the last century until political correctness stepped in and demanded they be banned. The reason given was that these dolls were created to look more like the 'minstrels' from 'down south' than a true representation of the facial features of black africans! Well ok that might be true true, but racially denigrating?? I think not! A further result of this idiocy was that Robertsons Jams (who had been using the golliwog symbol for a hundred years was subject to repeated attempts to force them to remove the symbol from their jams and marmalades. Trouble is all the fuss did was to draw attention to the negative aspects and the creation of chants such as: get back on your jam jar, get back on your jam jar, la la la la,la la la la, (then repeated once more).
