Is "tump" a word?

Search: tump

Why: People say it where I grew up. I described it to Brian as:

tump - v. to push over someone floating in a body of water, like on a pool raft or small boat

Answer: Haha yes!!

chiefly Southern : to tip or turn over especially accidentally —usually used with over "Sooner or later everybody tumps over. Nothing to worry about if you don't get caught under the canoe" — Don Kennard
transitive verb chiefly Southern : to cause to tip over : overturn, upset —usually used with over

It is basically "turn over" + "dump over."

There is another definition that means "a clump of vegetation," but who cares.

The More You Know: You can also tump over, like, a bucket full of water - but not a cup because it doesn't have enough stuff inside. It's a very precise term. If in doubt, ask me before you try to use it.
