I think it's probably just a break down in US/UK terminology!!! 😂😂😂
Indeed it is. The company I work for has a U.K. Division and we design and build equipment for the auto industry. This equipment has drip pans with drain fittings/plugs. I about spit my coffee the first time I heard them refer to the fitting as a bung hole and the plug as a bung. Now all the US designers call them out on the drawings as bungs. It was the dogs bollocks.

Cheers

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Makes perfect sense to me! You've got a hole to fill, so you 'bung' it up, with a bung!! :laugh: When I've got a cold, I might complain about being "bunged up"!! I'd never call it a 'bung hole' though, that's definitely prison talk here as well! :laugh: Its still a 'boss', or maybe a 'port', to me.

Anyways......who do you work for @Schu - anyone I'd have heard of?

Here is a link to our company.

Automated Parts Handling Systems, Conveyors | Harry Major

My first time over there I rented a car in London thinking that I could navigate myself solo to a meeting in Liverpool. OMG! As if driving on the wrong side of the road isn't bad enough, I rented a car with manual transmission so I'm sitting on the wrong side of the car shifting with the wrong hand. I didn't even make it to my hotel before before a Bobby pulled me over. I pointed to my hotel and said if you help me get to that hotel I promise I will call the rental place and have them come get the car. He said "follow me". Lol
