Bung it

phraseShop talkShop Slang

A casual instruction to quickly place or throw an object into a specific location.

This phrase is used across British and Commonwealth workshops to tell a colleague to toss, cram, or quickly place an item somewhere. It implies a lack of care or precision, suggesting the exact position does not matter as long as the item is out of the way or in the general vicinity. Workers use it for everything from throwing scrap in a bin to loading tools into a van.

Just bung it in the back of the truck and we'll sort it out at the yard.
