Etymology

The term 'bung' originates from the 17th century, derived from the Middle Dutch word 'bunge', which means 'to plug' or 'to stop up'. Originally, it referred to the action of sealing a cask or barrel, making it a term closely associated with the brewing and shipping industries. Over time, especially in informal British English, 'bunging' evolved to describe actions associated with hasty or careless packing or tossing of objects. The informal nature of the term has kept it popular in casual conversation, often used in contexts where care is less important than speed. Despite its informal nature, the versatility of the word allows it to be adapted across different contexts, maintaining its relevance in modern usage.
