[edit] Munt
Term: Munted is used within New Zealand culture. To describe the destruction of a car or other comparible object. I believe this is a case of double meaning. Where one word is good in one culture and highly insultive to the next, aka Culture Clash. It shouldn't be deleted but noted down as a offensive word in some cutures and the cultures the meanings belong to, be applied. T94xr 29th July 2005 - New Zealand.

- Transwiki - although the definition here is completely wrong. "To munt" - usually found in the past tense "munted" is widely used Australian slang meaning "to break" (i.e., something that is munted is stuffed, buggered, crapped out, etc). Grutness...wha? 04:05, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

- Transwiki - it's also British slang, "munt" as a verb is used to denote extreme ugliness, while "munted" refers to the state of inebriation. Qwghlm 11:49, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
- And, in case it helps, a "munter" is someone who is extremely ugly. -Splash 00:30, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
