This one goes out to all the IT guys, all the nerd dads, and anyone else who likes to hack, cause today Emily and Kyle are talking about the meaning and origin of the tech word mung.
Our hosts skim through a bit of Old English, and the many connections mung has to other modern words. But then they quickly get down to what this episode is all about: acronyms and information technology.
Emily and Kyle talk about how an MIT club became a haven for hacking and computer technology, how mung came to refer to making a mess of things, some little-known acronyms like SCUBA and PATRIOT, and what the Ts in TINT stand for.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
