munter
 n.Note: Probably unrelated to the British slang term “munter,” which refers to an undesirable woman. «More than 400 people between the ages of 23 and 35 will then appear divided into 16 teams wearing different colored T-shirts, some individuals with their favorite beverage in one hand and a red rubber playground ball in the other. This is the World Adult Kickball Association.…“Munter” a term used to describe a man who bunts, is yelled from the sidelines. The strategy is normally looked down upon, but those who want to win do it.» —“Playground sport kicks into the city” by Joseph Karoukian in San Francisco State University Xpress Online (San Francisco, California) Oct. 4, 2007.
