It's a conjunction of the words Meet and Lunch I believe.

Really? I would NEVER have guessed lol
A complete explanation, from some US website - I can't remember exactly where:
Mike.
The Munch has become a way to meet folks that are into BDSM in an informal and hassle-free environment. Usually the setting for a "munch" is a restaurant or coffee shop or similar environment. Munches have become a common occurrence nationwide (and in a few cases, worldwide) thanks to the Internet.
However, some of you may not know that the custom of Munches (aka "BurgerMunches") started here in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the early 90s, occasionally there were informal dinner gatherings of Bay Area folk into SM, but these were sporadic and not regular events. One day (sometime around April, 1992), a woman named STellaâ„¢ who posted regularly to the Usenet newsgroup, , posted an article to the group saying she would be at Kirk's in Palo Alto (a hamburger take-out restaurant) that evening and that anyone wishing to join her was welcome.
She felt that it would be useful to have a regular weekly predictable get-together, so that folks would not have to remember which day, what location, but could just head on over to the same place at the same time every week. Several people did show up that night and hence the concept of the Munch was born.

Not having THAT ! Using words made up by Americans ! :bs:
Hell no... I seem to recall that the word munch derives from Anglo-Saxon times. Of course it wasn't spelt as we spell it now, or even pronounced as it is now, in fact it was a different word altogether... Myntch, which meant " the house of the big party" and of course, over the years this has evolved, in the Middle-Ages it became Mynch, which meant "thatched house with much mead and song" .. The Victorians transformed the word into Minch which meant "house where we go for some moustache waggling".... but in 20th century England (ok! So SH wasn't formed then, sod off, we're pissing off yanks here!!) it became Munch.. meaning " a purely social event" known to be used by people who frequent the Swinging Heaven website..
So there... stick that in yer pipe Yankees! :grin:
All the above is bollox (tm Tune essence 2004) BTW... but maybe google will pick it up and someone will believe it...

Ah, all that BurgerMunches stuff does ring a bell, so why the hell did that alternative origin pop into my head dunno
Sorry for the misinformation above, I must be having a blonde day lol
I'm changing my answer to what they quoted above (ignoring postie's contribution obviously) biggrin

I'm being officially ignored by the BBD !! (is that a good or a bad thing??? :dunno: )
Strangely enough Mrs TE has just asked me 'Why do they call them Munches?' So now I'll go and give her Postie's definition.
We both agree though that it is an ugly word. What about something like 'Randyvous' ?? :shock: What?

There is already a word that has two quite separate meanings, both of which could apply to us: a word that means a meeting and also means sexual activity...the word is congress - how about that? lol
