bungholes

Cask drainage openings

Bungholes are the openings in barrels or casks through which liquid is poured in or drained out, sealed with a stopper called a bung.

The word also serves as crude slang for anus, following the pattern of hole-words acquiring anatomical meaning.

Beavis called everyone a bunghole.
