To add {spamblock} to an email    address.          This term is often confused with {mung}, which probably was    derived from it.   However, it also appears the word `munge' was in    common use in Scotland in the 1940s, and in Yorkshire in the 1950s,    as a verb, meaning to munch up into a masticated mess, and as a    noun, meaning the result of munging something up (the parallel with    the {kluge}/{kludge} pair is amusing).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Manasseh       who makes to forget. "God hath made me forget" (Heb. nashshani),       Gen. 41:51. (1.) The elder of the two sons of Joseph. He and his       brother Ephraim were afterwards adopted by Jacob as his own sons       (48:1). There is an account of his marriage to a Syrian (1 Chr.       7:14); and the only thing afterwards recorded of him is, that       his grandchildren were "brought up upon Joseph's knees" (Gen.       50:23; R.V., "born upon Joseph's knees") i.e., were from their       birth adopted by Joseph as his own children.                The tribe of Manasseh was associated with that of Ephraim and       Benjamin during the wanderings in the wilderness. They encamped       on the west side of the tabernacle. According to the census       taken at Sinai, this tribe then numbered 32,200 (Num. 1:10, 35;       2:20, 21). Forty years afterwards its numbers had increased to       52,700 (26:34, 37), and it was at this time the most       distinguished of all the tribes.                The half of this tribe, along with Reuben and Gad, had their       territory assigned them by Moses on the east of the Jordan       (Josh. 13:7-14); but it was left for Joshua to define the limits       of each tribe. This territory on the east of Jordan was more       valuable and of larger extent than all that was allotted to the       nine and a half tribes in the land of Palestine. It is sometimes       called "the land of Gilead," and is also spoken of as "on the       other side of Jordan." The portion given to the half tribe of       Manasseh was the largest on the east of Jordan. It embraced the       whole of Bashan. It was bounded on the south by Mahanaim, and       extended north to the foot of Lebanon. Argob, with its sixty       cities, that "ocean of basaltic rocks and boulders tossed about       in the wildest confusion," lay in the midst of this territory.                The whole "land of Gilead" having been conquered, the two and       a half tribes left their wives and families in the fortified       cities there, and accompanied the other tribes across the       Jordan, and took part with them in the wars of conquest. The       allotment of the land having been completed, Joshua dismissed       the two and a half tribes, commending them for their heroic       service (Josh. 22:1-34). Thus dismissed, they returned over       Jordan to their own inheritance. (See {ED}.)                On the west of Jordan the other half of the tribe of Manasseh       was associated with Ephraim, and they had their portion in the       very centre of Palestine, an area of about 1,300 square miles,       the most valuable part of the whole country, abounding in       springs of water. Manasseh's portion was immediately to the       north of that of Ephraim (Josh. 16). Thus the western Manasseh       defended the passes of Esdraelon as the eastern kept the passes       of the Hauran.                (2.) The only son and successor of Hezekiah on the throne of       Judah. He was twelve years old when he began to reign (2 Kings       21:1), and he reigned fifty-five years (B.C. 698-643). Though he       reigned so long, yet comparatively little is known of this king.       His reign was a continuation of that of Ahaz, both in religion       and national polity. He early fell under the influence of the       heathen court circle, and his reign was characterized by a sad       relapse into idolatry with all its vices, showing that the       reformation under his father had been to a large extent only       superficial (Isa. 7:10; 2 Kings 21:10-15). A systematic and       persistent attempt was made, and all too successfully, to banish       the worship of Jehovah out of the land. Amid this wide-spread       idolatry there were not wanting, however, faithful prophets       (Isaiah, Micah) who lifted up their voice in reproof and in       warning. But their fidelity only aroused bitter hatred, and a       period of cruel persecution against all the friends of the old       religion began. "The days of Alva in Holland, of Charles IX. in       France, or of the Covenanters under Charles II. in Scotland,       were anticipated in the Jewish capital. The streets were red       with blood." There is an old Jewish tradition that Isaiah was       put to death at this time (2 Kings 21:16; 24:3, 4; Jer. 2:30),       having been sawn asunder in the trunk of a tree. Psalms 49, 73,       77, 140, and 141 seem to express the feelings of the pious amid       the fiery trials of this great persecution. Manasseh has been       called the "Nero of Palestine."                Esarhaddon, Sennacherib's successor on the Assyrian throne,       who had his residence in Babylon for thirteen years (the only       Assyrian monarch who ever reigned in Babylon), took Manasseh       prisoner (B.C. 681) to Babylon. Such captive kings were usually       treated with great cruelty. They were brought before the       conqueror with a hook or ring passed through their lips or their       jaws, having a cord attached to it, by which they were led. This       is referred to in 2 Chr. 33:11, where the Authorized Version       reads that Esarhaddon "took Manasseh among the thorns;" while       the Revised Version renders the words, "took Manasseh in       chains;" or literally, as in the margin, "with hooks." (Comp. 2       Kings 19:28.)                The severity of Manasseh's imprisonment brought him to       repentance. God heard his cry, and he was restored to his       kingdom (2 Chr. 33:11-13). He abandoned his idolatrous ways, and       enjoined the people to worship Jehovah; but there was no       thorough reformation. After a lengthened reign extending through       fifty-five years, the longest in the history of Judah, he died,       and was buried in the garden of Uzza, the "garden of his own       house" (2 Kings 21:17, 18; 2 Chr. 33:20), and not in the city of       David, among his ancestors. He was succeeded by his son Amon.                In Judg. 18:30 the correct reading is "Moses," and not       "Manasseh." The name "Manasseh" is supposed to have been       introduced by some transcriber to avoid the scandal of naming       the grandson of Moses the great lawgiver as the founder of an       idolatrous religion.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mowing       (Heb. gez), rendered in Ps. 72:6 "mown grass." The expression       "king's mowings" (Amos 7:1) refers to some royal right of early       pasturage, the first crop of grass for the cavalry (comp. 1       Kings 18:5).
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Manasseh, forgetfulness; he that is forgotten
