I consider myself pretty educated, and had no idea this was a controversy -- of course tump is a word.

It's a running joke between me and wife. Same thing.

Pretty sure the guys that don’t know tump, are the same guys fluent in “brake tags” or “neutral ground” and other assorted phaggetry.
I’m not sure if anyone has ever accused Lafayette of being anything approaching cosmopolitan, but well done reinforcing the perception of those from New Orleans that everyone outside of their city is a dirt floor poor country bumpkin.

Like they didn’t think that anyway.

tumped over his coke
Wasted is what confused me...when I was a child wasted means you left your coke and never went back and drank it. Got hot, bugs in it,whatever so it was thrown away
When I heard wasted=spilled as an adult I was very confused

My wife would have glared at me and said "I'm fixin to!"

The word tump is jam up.

You are one weird motherfricker

Used it all my life. Find that I don't use very often over here in the Jethroplex, but let me get back to NELa and I'm tumpin' stuff over all the time.

Tump has a slightly different meaning in my world. It generally meant turning something over that was gonna bring pain and/or suffering to me or others. No one ever said "Lean like I'm leaning bitch, or your gonna dump this 3-wheeler over"! Tump us over is the preferred term in a watercraft, ATV, Willys jeep, trampoline..etc.

A very similar thing happened between me and my wife, except she was the country bumpkin in our story. I've since heard it once or twice from someone other than her, but her saying it back then was the first time I had heard it.

The perception of Louisianians living outside of New Orleans is that it’s a filthy, chocolate shithole.

We grew up saying it, but we thought of it as a colloquialism. My mother frowned on our use of it.
I was surprised a few years ago when I saw it in a newspaper article. Have seen it in print again since too.

tump and chunk; two best words in the English language.

Yep, to correct the Geico commercial:
“Hey, you woodchucks, stop chunking my wood!”
