Nothing to add apart from here in Stockport there is a company called "Munters" and everytime we pass their van we have a laugh :rotfl:
Wonder what sort of things this company does . . . .

Munters, the company are a property damage company. We take calls for them but i'm not sure if they have to answer with 'thank you for calling munters' or not.
Back to the original question, yes it is wrong to be a munter. You scare children and some poor bloke with a raging hangover has to wake up next to you on a Sunday morning.0 -
Entering "Munter" into Google search leads to the dictionary of slang definition of "munter" referred to by Martin Lewis. The other way to search for a meaning of a word which interrogates online dictionaries and encyclopaedias is to use "define: XXX" in the search box. I entered "define: munter" and discovered that the word "munter" refers to a knot used in rock climbing.
I was also aware from my work that that there is an excellent company by the name of Munters that deal with dehumidification - my only contact was a technical enquiry with that company. It can be found by entering Munter directly into Google search.0 -

In German, "munter" means "frisky". Over to you, Martin!:eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:Official "Bring back Mark and Lard NOW! or else (please)" Member 160

Martin said in his blog :
"In the end I played safe and switched it for minger, made famous by last year’s Big Brother."
I thought it was Jade Goody of Big Brother 3 in 2002 that made the term "minger" famous ?There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.0 -
"Munting" is to get off one's head and dance enthusiastically - click here
Therefore being known as a "munter"
I think the expression is related due to the faces pulled when "under the influence" and exerting oneself lol.
I don't think it is gender - related though....0
