Posted by Tim Blair at June 17, 2004 05:53 AMIn Berlin there used to be, like, a communist country and there used to be a big wall between East Berlin and West Berlin, where, like, the people on the West, I suppose, couldn't come to the East, or was it the other way around, because the East was where the rich people lived and the West was where the poor people lived.

I gave it a google and even tryed a few translation engines, but I am still no clearer on the meaning of the word "munt". You have any idea what it means?
Posted by: Papertiger at June 17, 2004 at 09:33 AM"People who like football should be rounded up, put in boxes and bulldozed into the sea."
But... but... wouldn't that, like, put the bulldozer- and box-making people in jeopardy of being indicted for human rights violations?
Posted by: Rebecca at June 17, 2004 at 09:43 AMPapertiger, how about making a definition for munt?
Some thoughts:
"Persists in whining complaints over minor problems in a rude fashion"
"A person engaging in non-stalking behavior"
"Feels INTERNET exists for their personal benefit"

I can't see how making fun of a liar who pretended to be an Army Ranger so he could give us the "inside scoop" on their activities is a "whining complaint over minor problems in a rude fashion".
Perhaps "munt" has some special meaning that exists only in the world of Micah Wright's head. If that is the case, then it might be interesting to find out. I wouldn't want to define a figment of Micah's imagination. He might call me a "munt" if I did.
I believe "munt" is short for "man-cunt." Interestingly, that's what he called me, I mean Parrott, last year, which began the whole thing.
Posted by: Jim Treacher at June 17, 2004 at 11:41 AMHmmmmm...Papertiger, you may have a point there. Why try to enter his, ummmmm, "soul"?
Posted by: The Real JeffS at June 17, 2004 at 11:59 AMMunt is a secret Rangers term that only real Rangers know. No wait...
Anyway, can we have a caption competition here:
