Fun fact: It’s still used to describe an access hole in a barrel, or drum. At work, I sell stuff that sometimes comes in 55gal drums. I regularly have to explain what a bunghole is to people who have never worked with drums before, because they think I am being vulgar at first.

So the word bung hole was used for something else in the past?

There’s a shop in Salem called Bunghole Liquor, always someone out front taking a photo in front of the sign and I think they have a 2nd location now

That’s hilarious that an entire generation of morons(my generation) only heard the word bunghole from Beavis and Butthead.

No, that IS what bung hole means.
