Of course we use it. Come to think of it, I think it was one of the words on my daughter's first grade spelling test last week...

I guess 16 years in Texas, so far, isn't enough, as I don't think I have ever heard 'Tump" LOL

I think this was the first time I'd heard it. I'm from the South and have lived in the South or in Texas almost my entire life, and this is a new one for me.

...Scrabble for money, anyone???

You guys are so country!

I am so surprised that tump isn't a known term by more folks... Next you'll be telling me you don't know what a shin-dig is.

Of course
Use a coaster and don't tump that glass over and spill it ... watch out that the baby doesn't tump it over, he's going through the terrible twos. Just tump out that box of stuff over here.

Just get the amount of cereal you can eat. DON'T TUMP OUT THE WHOLE BOX just to get to the prize !!!

...AT LEAST IT'S THE RIGHT !!! COUNTRY!!!

so country

The funny thing is, is I grew up in a really small town out in the country (Bellaire, TX-inside 610) where we had wild rabbits in the field next door and stuff and you had snakes on your porch sometimes. People used to ask "Why do you want to live so far from Houston, does the bus even go that far??" (a part of Bellaire that's now located inside loop 610 in Houston)
