From the New Zealand Herald:

Christchurch resident Jane Smith, who works in the central city, earlier told the Herald a work colleague had helped with rescue efforts after a building facade collapsed on a bus on Colombo St.

"There's people dead. He was pulling them out of a bus. Colombo St is completely munted," she said.

Munted

To have intoxicated yourself with alcohol and/or chemicals to such point where respectable levels of social and/or physical functioning become problematic; where you are also (quite possibly) chewing a lot.
In short, a state of complete and utter trashedness!

'Bert was so munted he couldn barely string a sentance together, and was chewing his face off like a gurning twat'

Munted

(1) adj. refers to the property of an object (or person) as broken, ruined, significantly damaged, disfigured or deformed, often to the extent that it is not reversable or repairable.
(2) adj. an extreme state of intoxication by way of drugs or alcohol such that the subject's ability to perform basic tasks such as walking and talking are significantly impared.

In New Zealand and Australian slang, 1 is the more common sense, and in UK slang 2 is more common.

(1) Fuck, that car just got totally munted.
(2) I got so munted last night, I don't remember how I got home.
