The etymology of this word (A blend of blow and dump) should be noted.

Note
It also can be a portmanteau word meaning blueberry + pumpkin


 * Source? The meaning has nothing to do with those foods. Equinox ◑ 23:18, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Here's a source to verify: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=blumpkin+blueberry+pumpkin


 * Those are pretty much all websites, which don't count for our Criteria for inclusion. It looks to me like a transitory meme that won't last long enough to really become part of the language. The sexual sense is marginally well-known because of all the notoriety from Howard Sterns' talking about it on the radio, so I suspect some mischief-makers want to trick unsuspecting food writers into using a name that's shared with something vulgar and disgusting.

they really want to know that blumpkin can also be a combo (or hybrid) of pumpkin and blueberry

RFV discussion: May–August 2016
Rfv of the sense:
 * 1) (slang) Combo (or hybrid) of pumpkin and blueberry.

This seems to be a meme on the (non-Usenet) web intended to fool unsuspecting people into using an outrageously vulgar term in non-sexual contexts. I haven't been able to find this at Google Books or Google Groups, though there's interference from a surname at the former and from the other sense at the latter, so I might have missed one, somewhere.

 * They are not foolish they want to also know that combo (or hybrid) of pumpkin and blueberry is called blumpkin because of it being totally possible in real life. --CasetteTapeMaster (talk) 15:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

 * ✅, but I also unprotected it. It's probably not as big a deal as it was 12 1/2 years ago, so maybe it won't need it. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:42, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
