I think the problem is that "Mince" is a word that can be singular or plural. In this case it's a name so it's singular, so it'd be "Prick".

Mince isn't plural. You can have a little bit of mince, or a lot of mince, but it's singular mince.

Mince plural is minces - and he does, so I believe.

If we both, individually, buy mince from the butcher, we each have some mince. Collectively, we still have mince, even though it's two lots of mince. It's not two minces. It's a collection of mince, plural, but still called mince.

But if I bought high quality steak mince, and you bought low quality, fatty, cholesterol-inducing cheap mince, we'd have two different minces.
