Who or what first coined the terms 'jungle' and 'dnb'?

i've got at least 10 old school house tracks that start with jungle noises, bird calls etc - its become as much of a cliche as that space launch countdown sample.

sure but the g-force stuff has a kind of direct dub bassline thing and jerky mid 90's dancehall drum sounds those records aren't particulary great but you can hear a ruff ja inspired take on us dance - i guess as well you've got the nu groove stuff by that massive b guy.
then let me see you had the warriors dance label which was mainly tony thorpe etc who was a 400 blows member, rob ital from ital rockers up in leeds blah blah ..

that windowsmashers album sleeve actually reads ' g-force hails the new age of abstract dance' on the back of the sleeve, which is another story.
but it thanks grooverider, colin 's favor and dale, chris energy, fabio, mr c, j j frost, etc ... quite a crowd!
i'm listening to it now and its pretty good, its got a nice skank and is definitley the sound of tracks being faded in and out on a mixer .

ooh yeah I forgot you had that windowsmashers one. i've just got the 12 with the pink label which is kind of rubbish but charming cos you can imagine them in a bedroom with about 3 pieces of equipment they chose at random and none of them can play keyboards but they want to be like mr fingers sorta thing.
yes i must pop round your gaff one of these daze....
so that's jungle.
the term "drum & bass" definitely comes from dub, innit?

picking up on some comments upthread, regarding plez and warriors dance, seems to me that jungle was a term used by lots of early house producers
for instance, the nyc label "jungle sounds" -- joe clausell, adam goldstone -- first release was in spring of 1992
or the chicago house act JUNGLE WONZ -- aka marshall jefferson -- their first release was "the jungle" -- released on trax records in 1986
so as with all things having to do with rave culture, there were multiple origins of (and routes to) the term "jungle"

Not sure what relevance this has but I recall my mate buying a Jungle Tekno compilation about '92, which I think wasn't too jungly, or wasn't what we were after at the time.
Also I went out with a girl who had some connection to some Essex crew around Colchester area who had a mixtape called Drum And Bass. I've always wondered about this since the term didn't gain wider currency until several years later. That was '91, I'd say.
