SO I LEARNED A NEW WORD

tamp (tāmp) Pronunciation Key
tr.v. tamped, tamp·ing, tamps
To pack down tightly by a succession of blows or taps.

Now I know what you're thinking...not the most exciting of new words...I agree. In fact, I just thought the guy was mispronouncing "tap". Now, the context in which I learned this newfound wonder of the English language was actually quite amusing...

Tamp (verb): as in "I just took a shit in the bathtub because the toilet is broke, and I had to tamp the turd down the drain."

...ahh the little things.

i still chuckle everytime i hear the word 'tamp'.
also, you are not allowed at any parties at my humble abode until you get this out of your system.
