      Might mean like wasted or something. So if you were trying to say someone was drunk and wasted, munted can be used. On the other hand, an object can be broken or wasted, and you can say like “that kennel is munted.”
      Just a thought.

      Some of the words and phrases he used are widely used in Canada too. It's not just an Australian, New Zealand or British thing, it's a British Commonwealth kind of thing, of which Canada is a part.
      I remember watching a video once where an Australian woman said, "right down to buggery" in reference to something that was being done. Now, I'd never heard that expression before, nor is it used in Canada, but I instantly understood what it meant - it meant "right down to nothing".

    The way he describes 'keen' makes it sound like it means 'hot for' but it's much more general than that. Keen is also used in the same as 'interested in' or 'up for trying'. It can also be used as a single word to mean mean 'i like it'
