Bloody hell, I've learned two new things on one post! I always thought
that minging was a gerund without an original verb, but now I know not
only the verb, but its past participle as well.

Well, "mang" as above would be the *imperfect* form, but
"past participle" usually refers to the *perfect* tense, which does not
appear above; so shall we have "mung" or still just "mang" for the
perfect tense?

You ming
You mang
You have mung / mang ? Or just plain old "minged"?


You are going to let me start that with Thou mingest.
