what is a minyun??????????? everybody is sayin it

[sophie_1003]

i presume you mean minion.. it is 1.An obsequious follower or dependent; a sycophant.
2.A subordinate official, especially a servile one.
3.One who is highly esteemed or favored; a darling.

If you mean minion it's a servant, employee, etc. Hardly swearing, though it does have a slightly derogatory connotation.

[sophie_1003]

obsequious being someone who is full of compliance. got to www.answers.com its an online dictionary, and very good indeed!

Isn't definition 1 and 3 contradictory?

[Booldawg]

why is everyone saying it? It must be a 'local' thing to you gale.

Sometimes a super-villain has minions -- his loyal followers who do whatever he tells them. Those minions might also be specially favored, a sort of "teacher's pet" -- like Mini Me in the Austin Powers movies. I suspect that, if "minion" has become popular slang in Gale's circles, it probably came from a movie like that. I can imagine that a popular person might attract her "minions" to a certain party or club.

Just in case we've all misinterpreted the crowd Gale hangs with...

There's also MINYAN, the minimum number of ten adult Jewish men required for a communal religious service.

i am not a racist person, and i do not have any problems with any religions (sorry if i have misunderstood what you were trying to sugest Kingaroo) everyone at the board is saying it and i new that it means a sort of employee however people hae called my daughter one at school thats why i asumed that maybe it had another slang meaning. if you have an answer to my question than answer it but if you haven't got anything nice to say than dont say it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
