bungs
Cask hole plugs
Bungs are stoppers, typically made of cork or rubber, used to seal the openings of barrels, casks, or other containers.
The word also functions as a verb meaning to plug or stop up an opening, or more loosely to throw or toss something carelessly: He bunged his keys on the counter.
In British slang, to bung someone means to give them money, often as a bribe or informal payment.
