munch
n.— «They directed me to a monthly BDSM get-together known as a Munch. You might be expecting people in leather harnesses and nipple clamps, but not tonight. It was all plain clothes, plainer food and surprisingly plain people.» —“Thud or Sting?” by Scott Fabricant in Washington University Student Life (St. Louis, Missouri) Feb. 13, 2009.
