Also brings to mind the saying 'bunged up'. But it's probably best not to elaborate too much on that!! Not sure bung is actually an appropriate term for the plastic barrels since the caps are threaded & if I'm not mistaken a true bung is a friction fit such as in traditional wooden kegs or wine barrels, hammered in & forcibly removed. Egad, I think I'm opening a bungless can of worms here! Faintly recall some old joke about a constipated elephant & a poor little guy who decided to remove the 'bung'.
