Mingebag was a term used in older versions of Garry's Mod to describe new players of the game. The name was set as their default username to appear in-game, and had to be changed in the game settings. With the growing player-base, this later evolved into a term to represent ignorant or new players, with many variations of the Mingebag forming. A Mingebag is described as using the default Dr. Kleiner model from the Half-Life 2 Series, typically with broken animations forcing them into an A-Pose, with their physgun sticking out of their pelvis joint.
