    Fun fact: the cork stopper in a cask, keg, or barrel is called a bung. The hole into which it is inserted is called a bunghole.

    Bunghole is also a euphemism for anus. So, a question for any morticians here: can we start calling the corpse plug a bung? I’d consider a career change if I got to tell people about the bung in grandpa’s bunghole.

      I regress to the maturity of a 12-year-old whenever I think of the word “bunghole reamer”.
