Gump stump is a vulgar American slang term for the anus. It sits firmly in the irreverent, crude end of the slang spectrum — the kind of expression that sounds almost comically absurd, which is probably part of its appeal. The rhyming structure gives it a sing-song quality that softens the crudeness slightly, and it functions in the same register as other colourful anatomical euphemisms used in informal speech, lowbrow humour, and shock comedy.
