Other Definitions of MUNG:
Mung is computer jargon for "to make repeated changes which individually may be reversible, yet which ultimately result in an unintentional, irreversible destruction of large portions of the original item." It was coined in 1958 in the Tech Model Railroad Club at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1960 the backronym "Mash Until No Good" was created to describe Mung, and a while after it was revised to "Mung Until No Good", making it one of the first recursive acronyms. It lived on as a recursive command in the editing language TECO.
Munging implies destruction—to make large-scale and irrevocable changes to a file and to destroy it. Hence in the early text-adventure game Zork, also known as Dungeon, the user could mung an object and thereby destroy it (making it impossible to finish the game if the object was an important item). A person who vandalizes a Wiki page would not be munging that page because the changes could be reversed.
Mung may have been created from the Lowland Scots word 'munge', meaning to imperfectly transform or, later, to munch up into a mess.
Alternatively, according to Charles Mackay's book, Lost Beauties of the English Language, published in July 18th 1874, there was an early American term, "mung news", which meant "false news". This was because, according to Mackay, mung is an obsolete past participle of mingle, and so mung news was news that was so mingled it was impossible to determine what was true and what was not. This may be the origin of Mung.
In some circles 'mung' is used as a word meaning foul material covering on a surface, i.e., "you've got some mung in between your teeth" or "you left your mung on my table." Military mechanics loosely use the term to refer to a combination of axle grease, mud, and dead things that were crushed under the equipment, and anything else that is generally left to be sprayed off by the lowest ranking shop worker. This concept has spawned cast-offs, implying that anything that is supremely disgusting can be said to be "mung".

He also used the term "mung heap" to refer to Black Sabbath's songs in the October 1979 issue of Creem.[2]
