tralbry's definitions

mung

I heard trumpet players in the band refer to this as what remains in the horn after the spit valve has been emptied, i.e. a thin coating of hardened or coagulated saliva that builds up. Could also apply to other brass instruments and woodwinds.

You're getting out of tune. That thing must be filled with mung. You'd better wash it out.
