Earlier quoted context omitted.

Probably unnecessary nitpick, but here goes: the actual derogatory term is "Munter" rather than just simply the word "Munt". For example, I saw [INSERT NAME HERE] and they were looking like a total Munter. when it is used in a derogatory sense I think it is more often used when talking about [INSERT APPROPRIATE PRONOUN FOR PERSON WITH VAGINA HERE], but as far as I'm aware it can be applied to both/all/neither/X sexes…

A munter is also someone who takes drugs, it comes from the context of taking pills at clubs - a munter munting gets munted.

Weird, it seems I can reply to you directly. Does anyone know why the "reply" button wasn't instantly available to me?

Here is my response again in case you are getting notifications and don't see my edited reply:

"I can't seem to reply to the reply to this reply, but I think when someone takes too many drugs they are classically known as being "Munted"."

Interesting, I always equated pills with "munted" but those other permutations always meant something very different. Maybe it's a regional thing in the UK?

Hey guys, I'm aware of the unfortunate name of the product. Munt actually means coin in Dutch. So my apologies to people I have insulted. I will change the name as soon as possible, if you have any feedback on how to name it next, that would be appreciated.

I've sent you an email to support@ with a name suggestion.

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.

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

I'm dutch with a pretty good grasp of english and never knew "munt" was slang or offensive. You learn every day.

"Getting munted" is also slang for taking drugs from the clubbing scene in the 90s/00s. One who does so would be a munter.

Still is.
