I agree with Pink Dragon. Munchkins aren't those who just try to 'Power Game', are 'Bad Rules Lawyers', or who are 'Bad Players'. They tend to be players who will fight for the first shot at the loot (often demanding either the most powerful or most expensive item), will try to hog the lime light (often at the expense of other players), will often try to detract from the game in general to make it more about themselves,and some even actively try to screw over other players, while others just engage in annoying attempts to generate lols.
Power gamer/gaming (not sure I completely agree with this term) is often lumped in with Munchkining. I don't really think someone designing their character well counts, but many use this term to describe min-maxing. And some Munchkins will do this.
Bad Rules Lawyering on the other hand often indicates a Munchkin, imho. These aren't people who argue the rules because they want to play a balanced game, these are people who argue the rules in hopes of gaining an advantage. They aren't necessarily a Munchkin, though many Munchkins do do this.
