Karen Conlin will enjoy this recent exchange in my workplace.

New Zealander 1 (me, as it happens): That whole thing is huckery. I would even go so far as to say munted.

British colleague: So, to un-munt it…

NZer 2: Once a thing is munted, that’s it. You can’t undo it.

NZer 1: Yeah, munted is a final state.

    Huckery: ramshackle and badly made.

    Munted: completely broken.

    Is huckery like kluge?

    To me totally broken is “fucked up beyond repair/recovery/recognition” aka FUBAR.
