  • Hard News: Word of the Year 2011 -- The Vote!, in reply to Russell Brown,

    The point isn’t that munted is new -- and I don't think it carries any great weight of class either -- it’s that it had a particular resonance this year in the context of #eqnz.

    I engaged in a discussion about munted many years ago, 3 out of 6 were familiar with it from different geographical and contextual sources, we decided it travelled via regional vectors, going in and out of vogue, with surviving endemic colonies dotted about the country - but this year Bob Parker, Web and TV media acted as Typhoid Marys to send it rushing spirally, virally into a national epidemic. (or is that an etymademic?)
