Rod Brock's definitions
Differs slightly in meaning from the process of sealing a wine cask with a cork; it means not only to seal, but to bind, or constrain something, as well. The term "bungee cord" derives from this particular sense of the word.
When you remove the bung from a winecask on its side, or loose the bungee cords from an unstable load, things tend to "surge forth" explosively, in an uncontrolled manner. Thus did the late American poet e.e. cummings describe the passion of Picasso's art:
out of the
black unbunged
Something gushes vaguely
-e.e. cummings, "Picasso"
