abstract:In gaming, a munchkin is a player who plays what is intended to be a non-competitive game (usually a role-playing game) in an aggressively competitive manner. A munchkin seeks within the context of the game to amass the greatest power, score the most "kills", and grab the most loot, no matter how detrimental their actions are to role-playing, the storyline, fairness, or the other players' enjoyment.
They say that Manhattan-bred kids are remarkably sophisticated and worldly-wise, but nothing would have kept these munchkins from appreciating your comedic genius.
And doughnut shops like Dunkin' Donuts have fed the masses with doughnut holes rebranded as "Munchkins" (or Timbits, if you're a patron of Tim Hortons).
