Phaseolus aureus, syn. Phaseolus Mungo), grown for food

/muhng/ (MIT, 1960) Mash Until No Good.
Sometime after that the derivation from the {recursive
acronym} "Mung Until No Good" became standard. 1. To make
changes to a file, especially large-scale and irrevocable
changes.
See BLT.
2. To destroy, usually accidentally, occasionally maliciously.
The system only mungs things maliciously; this is a
consequence of Finagle's Law.
See scribble, mangle, trash, nuke.
Reports from Usenet suggest that the pronunciation /muhnj/
is now usual in speech, but the spelling "mung" is still
common in program comments (compare the widespread confusion
over the proper spelling of kluge).
3. The kind of beans of which the sprouts are used in Chinese
food. (That's their real name! Mung beans! Really!)
Like many early hacker terms, this one seems to have
originated at TMRC; it was already in use there in 1958.
Peter Samson (compiler of the original TMRC lexicon) thinks it
may originally have been onomatopoeic for the sound of a relay
spring (contact) being twanged. However, it is known that
during the World Wars, "mung" was army slang for the ersatz
creamed chipped beef better known as "SOS".

[in 1960 at MIT, “Mash Until No Good”; sometime after that the derivation
from the recursive acronym “Mung Until No Good” became standard; but see
munge]
1. To make changes to a file, esp. large-scale and irrevocable changes. See
BLT.
2. To destroy, usually accidentally, occasionally maliciously. The system
only mungs things maliciously; this is a consequence of Finagle's Law.

‘mung’ is still common in program comments (compare the widespread
confusion over the proper spelling of kluge).
3. In the wake of the spam epidemics of the 1990s, mung is now commonly
used to describe the act of modifying an email address in a sig block in a
way that human beings can readily reverse but that will fool an {address
harvester}. Example: johnNOSPAMsmith@isp.net.
4. The kind of beans the sprouts of which are used in Chinese food. (That's
their real name! Mung beans! Really!)
Like many early hacker terms, this one seems to have originated at TMRC;
it was already in use there in 1958. Peter Samson (compiler of the original
TMRC lexicon) thinks it may originally have been onomatopoeic for the sound
of a relay spring (contact) being twanged. However, it is known that during
the World Wars, ‘mung’ was U.S.: army slang for the ersatz creamed chipped
beef better known as ‘SOS’, and it seems quite likely that the word in fact
goes back to Scots-dialect munge.
Charles Mackay's 1874 book Lost Beauties of the English Language defined “
mung” as follows: “Preterite of ming, to ming or mingle; when the
substantive meaning of mingled food of bread, potatoes, etc. thrown to
poultry. In America, ‘mung news’ is a common expression applied to false
news, but probably having its derivation from mingled (or mung) news, in
which the true and the false are so mixed up together that it is impossible
to distinguish one from another.”

(foldoc) | munge
/muhnj/ 1. A derogatory term meaning to imperfectly transform
information.
2. A comprehensive rewrite of a routine, data structure or the
whole program.
This term is often confused with mung and may derive from
it, or possibly vice-versa. One correspondent believes it
derives from the french "mange" /monzh/, eat.

munge
(jargon) | munge
/muhnj/, vt.
1. [derogatory] To imperfectly transform information.
2. A comprehensive rewrite of a routine, data structure or the whole
program.
3. To modify data in some way the speaker doesn't need to go into right now
or cannot describe succinctly (compare mumble).
4. To add spamblock to an email address.
This term is often confused with mung, which probably was derived from
it. However, it also appears the word munge was in common use in Scotland
in the 1940s, and in Yorkshire in the 1950s, as a verb, meaning to munch up
into a masticated mess, and as a noun, meaning the result of munging
something up (the parallel with the kluge/kludge pair is amusing). The
OED reports “munge” as an archaic verb meaning “to wipe (a person's nose)”.
