Yeah ,I know most everyone has an idea of what a bung hole is and the vast majority of you would be completely and utterly incorrect. It's actually the hole in the side of a whiskey cask.. Actually the bung is the large stopper and the hole is, well...the hole the stopper goes into. https://www.etymonline.com/word/bung
Now you know and the next time some schlub mentions a bung hole you can pretend to be smart and point out exactly what a bung holio is and your peers will be extraordinarily impressed with your lexiconic prowess..

I actually knew this.
However, the other definition of the term is not necessarily incorrect as it is now so common it has become a colloquial use as vulgar slang.

Who knows, maybe it originated from prison culture, like sagging pants? As in Bubba said to Morty, "I'm going to turn your butt hole into a bung hole!".

Another little known fact.
If you remove the "ho" from a "bung Hole" you are left with a "bungle"

Not what it means in my neighborhood
The water tastes funny when you're far from your home,
yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.
