neanderthal

Primitive humans which lived throughout much of Europe, but particulary in France, and Germany. The term "Neanderthal," derives from the Neanderthal Valley in Germany, where the first fossils were found. Anatomically, they differed from their chief competitors, Cro-Magnon man in that they tended to be more squat, with thicker bones, and brow ridges. They existed through hunter-gathering activities, as did the Cro-Magnon, but seem to have been less technologically innovative, a quality which may have contributed to their ultimate demise.
How many Neanderthals died in encounters with wooly mammoths is anyone's guess.

bung

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"
