This is just curiosity, but what community has brought "funge" to have this meaning? The only definition of "funge" I can find is archaic references to either fungus or simpletons.

Fungible. The term is still current within economics, I believe. If something is fungible, it stands to reason that one can funge it, nu?

Cyan is correct, with the additional comment that I'm not sure I've seen 'funge' used as a verb in economics discussions, and so I think the transition to a verb may be due to this community.
