Terrible choice of name... it’s a common, and not very pleasant, slang term

Munted: uncontrollably drunk

Munter: extremely unattractive female

In the UK at least, possibly other English-speaking countries.

Not just drunk: munt specifically means you’re really out of your mind on drugs.

Usually in a happy way with friends, like “we were munt on the couch together”, but yeah. That’s what it means.

The URL makes this worse. To “get munt”, well. Yep.

Besides the name, what do you think of the service?

To be honest, it looks like a great service and I think the name has probably made me look on it with a more favourable eye as it doesn't seem to have been a deliberate insult. But rather an unfortunate translation between languages, there are only so many vowel sounds to go around after all.

I'm aware this is probably a niche opinion. But Hayhoe.
