Description
Two weeks ago, my sister and I drove up to Salem, Massachusets to visit our best friend George, and this was one of the more peculiar sights we passed on the way. This is a real place, I wouldn't lie to you about something this important!Related content

Why, do you live in Massachusetts? Because apparently this is a franchise over there, according to my friend.

Somehow, when I saw this, I thought Bevis and Butthead.

Somehow, when I'd seen it, so did I.

Yeah, I've lived in Mass my whole life and visited Salem many times and there is even more than one Bunghole Liquors. I took this one as we were walking by last time I was in Salem. [link]

Christ, it's a chain. Just when you think you've seen it all, a bunch of people advertise bunghole licking on a public street. God bless America.

Either I'm oddly naive and innocent, or just stupid. What's the other meaning of 'bunghole'? I just know the hole in the liquor barrel meaning...

Bunghole is often used as another word for @$$hole.

This is why it is important to always have a camera on hand.

Dunno, I wasn't willing to enter the "Bunghole."

Hey, it's Salem Massachusetts. You were expecting something more...normal? Hm?

I suppose I shouldn't have, but this was way weirder than I ever suspected.

WOW... This is just... Odd. Why would you want to name your place that?!

Well, that's really the question, isn't is? Wish I knew the answer. No, wait, I don't wish I knew the answer.

For some reason the name of this place has got me excited.

I don't doubt it. I only got weirded out.

it's funny how the evolution of words have progressed in the last century and common terms have become insulting. oh well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And yet, after all that, they still call themselves Bunghole Liquors.

Well, the word 'bunghole' was originally the word used to describe the hole in the side of a wine barrel.
Still funny though.

Oh, I figured that's what it was. I remembered an episode of Beavis and Butthead where a man actually looked up the word bunghole after Beavis was shouting it in his full "Cornholio mode." Who says Beavis and Butthead isn't educational?

Of course, dude. A "bunghole" is a hole drilled into a barrel or cask to facilitate the pourings of liquids...
....what, is there some sort of double meaning here?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, there is, and I wonder if the people who work at that establishment even realize it.

Most people probably watched Beavis & Butt-head before they even find out what a bunghole really is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Strange to think, because I always felt the meaning was pretty clear coming from Beavis.

That was our reaction when we passed it. We actually stopped and parked so we could get a clear enough picture.

Not just a store called Bunghole, but Liquors [lickers?] of Bunghole, which is precisely what makes it so weird.

EWWWWW! How can anyone tolerate that taste?!

I try not to think about that.

Yeah.... same here. Sorry I asked.
